The Green Team at Wynyard High was started by students in 2019 to raise awareness and educate students, staff, parents and the local community about climate change and their natural environment. They are also focussed on finding ways to make Wynyard High “greener” and more renewable. Made up of a small core of eight students on the organising committee, the Green Team draws on the larger student body when organising events and is well supported by all year levels. The Green Team’s activities have been aimed at a range of natural resource management issues including climate change, over-fishing, deforestation, individual consumption habits, pollution, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss.
