Youth Eco Summit!

 

Environmental Leaders from St Bernadette's Primary, Lalor Park travelled in the Nagle College bus to attended Y.E.S. at Homebush on 21 October 2015. They experienced first-hand sessions involving Rubbish Rehabilitation, All Things Green, Field to Fibre and Silk Worms. They now know that to have Silk Worms you must have a Mulberry Tree and that Felt is made from wool!

 

Salt and Pepper - Oranges and Lemons!

Nature at its best when the St Michael's students were introduced by the Agricultural students, to Salt & Pepper, the new rabbits, at Nagle College Farm! Also, the oranges and lemons are showing they are a cold climate fruit by putting on a display, one which doesn't long, as students haggle to take home the fresh produce!



Springtime!

Nothing says 'Springtime' like baby chickens and at St Michael's Primary the'Composting Team' were fortunate enough to welcome the new chicks to the Nagle College farm! 'Farmer Mykel' and the Ag students were conducting an experiment with the different types of grain being feed to the chickens and checking their varying weights.

The Nagle College bus received a Springtime spruce up too, sporting a new label!

The Cycle of Life!

Life goes on at Nano Cottage Kitchen Garden - potatoes are harvested and garden beds replanted while at the neighbouring Nagle College farm two new calves, Nugget and Butterscotch, have arrived to join twin lambs Rover and Ciannah! The students from St Michael's and the College, were sadden by the death of Xena, the lambs' mother and held an impromptu ceremony to celebrate her life and recall memories of her fourteen years of life on the farm!
