Co-curricular activities

When: Wednesdays, 12.35-2.35pm (during sport)

Our Green club works on projects to enhance the school's environment. This includes

  • garden maintenance (soil improvement, correcting irrigation problems, growing plants from seed in the school's greenhouse)
  • exploring garden art through student projects
  • 'Forage and feast' class, where students learn to prepare and share a plant-based meal made from our garden produce
  • Planning for a sensory reflection space

Our achievements

  • Creating a fruit grove
  • Cultivating vegetables in a large market garden
  • Growing herbs outside the TAS block
  • Establishing a bromeliad and floral garden outside the library. It provides a sanctuary for the blue-banded native bee.

Support from the community

Canterbury-Bankstown Council has kindly donated:

  • Dozens of bags of compost
  • Native trees
  • A hive of native stingless bees, which are vital for pollinating our market garden

We are thankful for the guidance from community members and the local volunteer group, Panania Free Rangers.
