Greening the planet

The Cert II Conservation and Ecosystem Management students have been out and about beautifying the school gardens. We have focused on the Student Services quad and the pond area weeding and planting native plants that we propagated last year. All up we have planted about 60 shrubs and ground covers some of which are threatened or priority native species. This will help to bring some colour throughout the year and additional food sources for our native animals who live in or visit our school.

Life is a rollercoaster

Year 10s made paper rollercoasters as a practical application for conservation of energy. What looked to be an easy build turned out to be a bit of a challenge as the chosen construction material had a mind of its own, needing patience and careful engineering to get the desired result.
