The RMM Whakatū team recently enjoyed a rewarding day of planting at Victory Primary School, working alongside the school principal, project manager, and enthusiastic students to bring new life to the school grounds.

The planting was focused around a new outdoor stage, whare, and natural play features, marking the beginning of a wider programme of improvements to the school's outdoor spaces. The day began with unpacking a selection of plants supplied by Deans Plant Nursery, followed by the RMM team carefully setting out the plants ready for planting.

The highlight of the day was welcoming the school children, who eagerly rolled up their sleeves and got involved. With guidance from the team, the students learned practical planting techniques, including how to plant correctly, apply mulch, and use slow-release fertiliser to give their plants the best start.

It was a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge, encourage environmental stewardship, and give the children a sense of ownership and pride in their school environment. The completed planting has created an inviting, green setting around the new outdoor facilities and set the scene for the exciting improvements still to come.
