Plan Your VisitOur Place Our Future Children’s Parade
On 8 November 2014, the Hamilton CBD came alive in a spectacle of colour, creativity, music and dance with the first ever Enviroschools Children’s Parade.
The parade was the culmination of a year of exploration and learning that embodied the Enviroschools principles of empowering students to create sustainable communities. Students and teachers explored their local place asking big questions:
What do we know about our place?
What makes it special?
What do we want for the future?
They took part in workshops with local artists learning how to create spectacular parade art on a shoestring budget and worked with their local community to develop ideas for the parade.
About 350 children from 13 schools and early childhood centres around the Waikato region took part in the event.
