At the end of Term 2, students from the Enviro DEEP teamed up with the Manukau Beautification Trust and WaiCare to clean up the community. Within 45 minutes, the group had hauled rubbish out of the reserve at the corner of Valderama Drive and Bellagio Way.

Students were surprised how much inorganic waste was being dumped, including spare tyres and old camping equipment. Indeed, so much rubbish was pulled out, that the group filled two trailers!
