Sustainability Corner
The After School Garden Club has recommenced every Thursday from 3.15-4pm. There is certainly a lot of work to be done, crops to be planted and healthy recipes to be made. I hope to see you there.
Fill in the form below and send it to your class teacher for one of the 20 spots available. Kindy and Pre Primary children will need an adult to attend with them. The club will run from now and finish in week 9.
NEWS FLASH
Our Edible Bush Tucker Garden Project - Out of the 538 schools across Australia that received funding for Woolworths Junior Landcare grants, we were amongst the two in WA selected to write case studies about. Some of our bush tucker plants will be ready to harvest in Spring.
Here is the email and link to our project.
Our recycling programs near the front office have now recommenced
Please continue to bring in:
- Batteries
- Dental hygiene packaging including toothbrushes
- Coffee pods (make sure they are DRY)
- Ring pulls from cans of drink (collection point is in the library)
- Plastic bottle tops/bread bag tags (leave on the Grow Free Cart)
Remember that our Grow Free Cart is set up near the office.
"How does the cart work?" We have a simple answer: you give what you can, and take what you need. There are no prices, no bartering, no trading, no value. Like you would for family and loved ones.
What can I put on the carts?
- Homegrown or homemade produce: fruit, veg, herbs, preserves, eggs, etc
- Preferably grown with organic principles, (without toxins) seeds, seedlings, cuttings and rootstock (Please label all, and heirloom seeds are best)
- All things gardening, whether it be gardening magazines, planters, worm tea, etc,
- Jars, paper bags and small boxes for seeds or produce.
Happy gardening and recycling,
Sandra & Stacey – Sustainability Coordinators
Tip – Check the UV index before heading out into the winter sun. You may still need your hat.
