“When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace, and seeds of hope.”

On a very windy Monday the 20th of September the Middle Primary Class travelled to Lake Fowler to plant trees in our local bushfire affected area. The students travelled in the school vans to the council land surrounding Lake Fowler to plant a variety of native trees in their revegetation area. Students worked in groups of three to plant trees, install tree guards and water each plant. The students were set the challenge of planting over 150 hundred trees in under 2 hours!

All students reflected positively on the day and were very grateful to be given the opportunity to plant new trees in a bushfire affected area. It was particularly special for the Year 4 students to see the growth from the trees that they planted last year. Many of the students are excited to go back and visit the site in years to come, to see the future growth.
