Farewell to Cookie 🐔
Sadly, just before Christmas, Cookie, one of our school chickens, passed away after being unwell. For now, we will continue to care for our two remaining chickens, Jade and Nugget.
A big thank you to Jean, David, and Leah for looking after Jade and Nugget over the Christmas holidays—our girls will miss you!
For the Term 1 school holidays, we will have a roster for families interested in caring for the chickens during the break. More information will be shared in Week 7.

We are looking for Garden Helpers to support small groups of students with planting, weeding, pruning, and composting in our school garden. If you have a passion for gardening, this is a great opportunity to get involved!
