Students from Taranaki Diocesan School took to the streets of Stratford last Friday, demanding climate change action.
Student Casey Hayes said the group of students had all volunteered to take part in the strike action.
"This strike has been completely student led and organised. We all have chosen to come out here today to let people know we want to see action taken immediately on the issue."
Student Kaila Van In said the girls were marching because they wanted people to hear their voices.
"People need to hear us, and realise climate change is hurting our future. We have to take action as it is our generation's future at risk."
