30 Jun 2025 Congratulations to Central Hawke’s Bay College Environment Committee, our July Volunteer(s) of the Month! The Environment Committee is made up of students dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and sustainability both within the college and the community. Their recent participation in the World Environment Day clean-up along River Terrace in Waipukurau, organized by school Environment leader Carter Drake and HBRC Youth Environment Ambassador, demonstrates their commitment. In one hour, they collected 32kg rubbish from the river area. It is worth noting that the cleanup took place outside school hours, demonstrating exceptional dedication. In addition to their efforts on World Environment Day, the Committee is actively involved in various environmental initiatives at the college. They have been working diligently to improve recycling within the college grounds, ensuring that waste is properly managed and disposed of. Furthermore, they recently conducted a waste audit aimed at educating the wider student body on campus about the importance of waste reduction and proper disposal practices. It is also pleasing to note that the group is already planning for World Clean Up Day on September 20, which coincides with KNZB Clean Up Week.
