World Environment Day 5 June … show the way today!
The Ministry of Education is encouraging every school, whare kura, kura, kōhanga reo and early childhood centre to do something on 5 June to mark World Environment Day and to share their plans to contribute to a sustainable future.
From 22 May all schools will be able to log in to Show the Way Today site to select eco-actions that schools might plan to do on 5 June and beyond. They will also be able to add their own future focused sustainability pledge which will be revealed on an online world map on the day.
