Samisoni Tonu, 17, joins other students as they strike for climate change in Te Marae o Hine – The Square yesterday.
Banners included: “It's getting hot on here”, “Save our planet” and “We demand climate action”.
One of the organisers, Gryffin Powell from Awatapu College, said climate change was important in Aotearoa.
He said students’ demands included phasing out the use of fossil fuels, investing in renewable energy and climate education.
“We need to protect [the planet] and make sure we let the Government know what are the most important issues,” the 16-year-old said.
