Trees For Schools Grant

Last fortnight we announced that Sunshine Heights Primary School has been awarded the Trees for Schools grant, enabling us to enhance our school grounds with new greenery and contribute to a more sustainable environment.

This week, under the warm and beautiful sunshine, our dedicated Sustainability Club rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty to bring this project to life. With great enthusiasm, the students worked tirelessly, digging, planting, and mulching all the tube stock.

Their hard work and commitment to sustainability are truly inspiring. The new trees will not only beautify our school grounds but also provide shade, improve air quality, and create a more inviting space for our entire school community.

We are proud of our Sustainability Club and grateful for their efforts in making Sunshine Heights Primary a greener, healthier place. This project highlights our school's commitment to environmental stewardship and the power of community involvement in achieving our sustainability goals.

'Give an Hour' Working Bee

To tackle the weeds and ensure our school continues to be a beautiful and inspiring place for learning, we are excited to announce this year’s upcoming 'Give an Hour' Working Bee. This community-driven event relies on the generosity of our parents and volunteers to help maintain our school grounds.

Dates: Saturday 17th August 1pm - 2pm  

Your participation, even if for just an hour, can make a significant difference in maintaining the beauty of our school environment.
