The Environment Team - Term 1, 2019

The Environment Team, for Term 1, wasted no time in making their presence felt in the garden! There was digging, watering, seed-saving and some serious weeding to do … it is always important to pull out the roots of those dead plants, even if it means calling on some extra help … a job well done!

 

 

 

 

 

Just Hanging Around in the Garden!

 

There’s always something to do around the school garden and always students, who are up for the challenge; whether it be carting pots to a different spot or wrangling that annoying hose but then again maybe, it is just taking the time to “hang around” with friends!

 

 

 

 

 

"And So This Is Christmas ..."

As the song goes …“And so this is Christmas and what have we done?” … in the school garden there have been some interesting additions but more importantly, students have had access to an environment which is calm, pleasant and natural! The Environment Team were able to celebrate their achievements, with a Christmas Party which included putting together a Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer biscuit and presenting cards and gifts to those who have guided them through the “earthy” challenges!

Lewers Cafe and Art Gallery!

As the school year draws to a close, the Environment Team were treated to a celebratory lunch at Cafe at Lewers Emu Plains. Meals at the Café are prepared with fresh produce from the Kitchen Garden. Welcome rain prevented a “turn in the garden” but a tour of the adjoining Art Gallery was on offer and coincidentally the creative displays, featured items made from recycled materials!  The event was an opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved for the school, as a group and as individuals.
