AGENDA
1. Feedback on Beach Clean Up
What went well?
It was fun
Plenty of rubbish to pick up
Good turn out
Worth doing, rubbish was not insignificant
Good materials i.e. gloves,
Text tree worked well
Public acknowledgement from people
Had good teacher support thanks Ceri and RA
Good to have in school time at end of year
What could be improved?
Maybe needed a bigger area or different area
Comparatively speaking the beach and park didn't have enough rubbish
Tallying too hard and didn't work so possibly could tally at end or one
person tally while one picks up or could not tally
Get photos
Used rubbish bins instead of wheelie bins but wheelie bins would have been
better-do need trailer
Reflections for next time
Overall worked ok-would do again
2. WYSE
Still happening tomorrow at Te Papa still got students going
Starts at 9am and finishes at 3.45
3. Feedback from Teacher meeting
RP and AK turned up also attended by MC, Charles and TK
Apologies received from IF, SM, PK and CB
Discussed next year
AK keen to get staff initiatives such as recycling and composting up and
running
RP supportive of year level council initiatives, and green captains
Decided to approach PK and LO to facilitate

4. Evaluation for the Year
What went well?
Group emails
Kapiti College club expo
Beach clean up
Meetings on Mondays after school to make decisions and Wed lunchtimes for
delegation of jobs
Green Connection Week-we made money and chocolate selling in particular
great
Extending paper recycling to full school
Relationship with Charles
MC not attending all events meant students took more responsibility
What did we achieve?
Better publicity and recognition through blog, newsletters and bebo
Attracted new members
Diversity of activities i.e. Green Connection Week, attended workshops,
beach clean up,
Notice board finally up
Fun events to be involved in
What could we have done better?
Increased public involvement i.e. parents, community, teachers, other
students
Better involvement with Pram
Connect with local primary schools
Getting into the paper- we need to take photos of activities
Plan for what our money could be used for
Green Connection Week
Involve people outside of Green Connection
Be more organised with activities
Have back up plans
Work on publicity i.e. posters
Paper recycling
Increase teacher support
Need to be more organised i.e. gathering data
Move onto including cardboard- offices and canteen don't recycle
Full Circle also recycles plastics and metals-we could include these
Council support
How will we celebrate?
Shared lunch after beach clean up
Where to from here?
Look at including a bigger range of activities so maybe more people will
get involved i.e. whaling petition
Welcome new members
Improve KC club expo to gain new members
Make use of people's strengths
MC to talk to someone about teacher facilitator for next year
Catherine to email job description to MC for Green Captains
