P&C - Environment - School Grounds Update
New Garden Beds at the Main Gate!
What a fantastic afternoon of planting and mulching at the school entrance on Monday 19th May! Students from 5/6C, along with Chris the gardener and myself, got their hands dirty creating beautiful new garden beds. Their enthusiasm was contagious, with many planting their first-ever plant!
A huge shoutout to Habitat Ryde Community Nursery for donating the incredible native plants, and to the City of Ryde Council for providing the mulch. These local native plants will help boost biodiversity and create a welcoming habitat for small birds.
Chris even gave the entrance a mini spring clean, freshening up the brick wall and paths.
A little help from our community! To give these new plants the best chance to thrive, we kindly ask everyone to help by keeping off the garden beds while they establish. Your support will make a big difference in creating a flourishing space for all to enjoy.
School Grounds Planning Group
Exciting changes are on the horizon! Soon, I’ll be reaching out to the school community to form a planning group to discuss upcoming working bees and exciting new projects to enhance our outdoor spaces—gardens, playgrounds, seating areas, toilets, and more. Stay tuned for more details—we’d love for you to be involved!
