BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE

A sub-committee of School Council

TREE PLANTING

We have received a $10,000 grant from the Federal Government’s Queen’s Jubilee Tree Planting fund in which we will put in some shade trees on a couple of bare areas in the central area of the school. Work will commence during the school holidays on this project, and established native trees will be in place when students return from break.

Cole Waters and his class planted native grasses near the front gate, funded by the Democracy Sausage Sizzle fundraising money made by School Council at the Federal election earlier in the year. Thanks Cole and students, watch this space continue to be planted out.

SHADE SAIL GRANT

We have received a $25,000 grant for shade sails outside the canteen so students have some protection when queuing for food. The sails will also extend over the central area where we will put seating and create an outdoor eating and learning space. The company supplying the shade sails is ‘backed up’ with jobs so we don’t envisaged that they will get to us much before the end of the year, just in time for summer!

We also have a shade sail rescued from the Etty Street campus that we will have arranged to be erected up the top near the music buildings.

If any parent would like to be on the Buildings and Grounds Sub-committee, please contact Beth Mellick, School Council President on bethmellick@gmail.com

We would like to acknowledge Mt Alexander Shire Council & Mt Alexander Quality Tree Care for their support of the Garden Project.
