Project Janszoon School Advisory Board Members 2016 Congratulations go to Jack H, Iris, Rhys N and Rosie who were selected to be our Project Janszoon School Advisory Board Members for 2016. They were selected after presenting an online application as well as participating in an interview process. A number of children applied and we were really proud of the effort they put into their applications. All the children showed a real passion for the environment and the decision in selecting the final four was very hard. They will attend the last Advisory Board meeting for the year at Kahurangi Function Centre next Tuesday 27 October along with the new members from GBHS and Motueka High School.
