One of Room 21's service learning high lights was our Have a Heart project. We worked with Mrs Libby our visual arts teacher and created small boxes which were traded at the Sugar Bowl cafe. People took one of our heart boxes and in return left us with a sustainable gift such as plant, knitted item, biscuits, jam and chutney. We then passed these gifts onto our schools 'Adopt a Family' and the residents at Maeroa Lodge. We really appreciated the support we received from Mrs Libby and Aaron and the staff at the Sugar Bowl

Service Learning Projects
Throughout the year all classes at Maeroa plan and carry out a service learning project. Students identify a need within our school or local community and plan ways they could provide a service to help address that need. In our team we have cleaned chairs, weeded gardens, encouraged students to think about ways to reduce energy consumption, encouraged recycling, issued PE equipment to the school, provided gifts for adopt a family and supported Maeroa Lodge residents by providing singing entertainment and a basket of goodies.
