!The Last Post!

Well today it has come to end for our class sadly but I have to say we like the travels that we had and we had a fun time as well.
Though it we learnt what we should not do:
• Wash your car
• Drop your rubbish
• And more

What we should look for:
• Clarity
• Habitat
• Algae
• Bugs in the water

Well I would just like to say we have learnt a lot on the travel though trying to make the river a better place. I think that we have made an effort and we have made the community aware of what is going on down in there river and I just like to thank every one who gave us help with this and made it possible.
So to sum it all up I would like to thank each and every one for you.

Over and out from the year 10 leadership class and good bye!!

!! Issue Has Been Decided !!


The issue was finally decided!

We had finally chose the Hautapu river after the debate we had.

The debate we had was about the river and the Recycling.

We where fighting about the it for about half an hour and then we finally came to chose the
Hautapu river.

Out of all of then we thought that it would be better to do that because we would be doing more of the fight for it insted of council doing all of the work so that is why we all chose the river.
