Weedy Garden Competition
Glen Eira College
Dear Glen Eira College community,
The Food Technology department is planning to expand the edible garden to provide broader and richer opportunities for teaching and learning for all students.
One part of this initiative is submitting an entry to win a very special edible garden makeover competition hosted by ‘The Weedy Garden’. (more details in the link below).
We are very excited about this opportunity and hope that you are to!
So how can you help?
One of the criteria we need to meet is to demonstrate community support for the project should we be successful.
To do this we need to supply a group photo of everyone who supports the development of our edible garden (staff, students, parents and carers).
If you and/or your child are interested in being in the photo we would absolutely love for you to complete the form in the link below. The form is required to ensure you are comfortable with the image being used publicly should we be the lucky winners.
When: Friday 22nd August 1:22pm
Where: Wellbeing Garden
What to bring: Your gorgeous smiling faces 😊
Link to form: https://forms.gle/eHy8YBFet4wMQEE26

Is there anything else you can do?
Well, I am glad you asked 😊
If you cannot attend the group photo then perhaps you would like to show your support for this project by sending an email to the weedy garden. There is a template below for you to cut and paste or you can compose your own.

Dear David (Weedy),
My name is _________________ and I have _____ children at Glen Eira college,
I am sending this letter in support of Sonia Buxton’s entry to have our school in the running for this amazing prize.
An expansion of our edible garden will add substantial value to our school and provide a range of benefits for the students, teachers and greater school community.
I am also pledging to support this prize as required should we be the lucky winners.
Thank you for running this competition and fingers crossed that Glen Eira College is the name drawn from the hat.
Sonia Buxton
