Sustainability @ TPPS
In Grade 1 Sustainability, our students have been nurturing tiny seedlings that seem to be growing very fast. Have a look at our sunflowers so far!
Our Grade 2 students have planted teeny tiny basil seeds and have been remembering to water them daily in their classroom. Luckily Mrs Moschoyiannis is a gardening expert and knows all about growing basil and other herbs! We’re hoping the basil will look like this soon.
Last week Grade 3 were very grateful for the lovely warm morning because it was Aussie Bird Count Week! We had a great time noticing and recording all the birds that visit our school on the app during the 20 minute window. Overall, we saw 14 different species, including long-billed corellas, plovers and red wattlebirds. We even got a thank you letter from BirdLife Australia.
A huge THANK YOU for being part of the Aussie Bird Count 2026! Because of you — and tens of thousands of other bird lovers — it looks like this will be our biggest count ever! This year, more than 76,000 people around the country counted with us!
Together, we’ve recorded 183,046 checklists, 677 bird species and counted an incredible 6,020,009 birds right across Australia.
We have sadly had to say goodbye to two of our adored chickens in the last few weeks. We will miss Blossom and Bumblebee so much. It’s hard when school pets pass away, but it has been really heart-warming to see how caring, kind and gentle the students are with our remaining flock.
