Working Bee

The College Working Bee was held on Saturday 16^th August and was a big success. Jobs included mulching, filling sand pits, planting, weeding, and cleaning tables. Thank you to all the parents who gave up their time to attend and for their hard work. They have all made a valuable contribution to the appearance and functioning of the College grounds.

Hidden Treasures: 

Native Plants at Our School

Did you know our garden is full of bush tucker and native plants with amazing uses? The Old Man Saltbush has salty leaves that can be baked into damper, a traditional bush tucker favourite. Fun fact: the Finger lime has tangy leaves that indigenous people used for flavouring! Our Lemon Myrtle plant has aromatic leaves traditionally used in bush medicine. Everyone is welcome to take some home to brew your own myrtle tea, which you can collect during the Garden Club.

If you enjoy working in the garden, please join us at the Garden Club on Monday lunchtimes. The Sustainability team would also like to invite you to participate in the 2025 Healthy Soils Competition for a chance to showcase your passion and creativity! Check the poster for all the details.
