After over a year of planning, this August, we were finally able to bring our love of native plants to our school.
After over a year of planning, this August, we were finally able to bring our love of native plants to our school. In order to bring this project to life, we worked hard throughout 2021’s lockdowns, having meetings with Dr Priest, the Parents’ Association and the School’s Gardeners to find a suitable location and to finalise the plant list.
This year, we’ve finally been able to do the planting! With the help of enthusiastic students and teachers, we planted 73 native plants, laid pavers and mulched the entire area. The garden is located behind the barbeque area near the School Café.
This garden includes a few of these more well-known plants:
Native plants are already adapted to Australia’s harsh climate, saving water, so they are good for the environment. A native garden also supports wildlife and promotes biodiversity.
We want students to have the resources to learn more about native plants, celebrating Australia’s rich history and culture, while gaining a deeper appreciation for rewilding the suburban environment. We hope the garden can be a sanctuary in the School where students can relax and de-stress.
Many thanks to all our supporters in this project, especially Mrs Karen Hale, Miss Julia Robertson, the Parents’ Association, Mr Ross Low and Mr Gerry Augerinos, as well as all the students who helped us plant.
