GroundForce at Rollins- May 17th 2025

Over the years we have had a strong association with Kardinia Church. They have supported our school in so many ways. They have now kindly offered to assist us with their Groundforce Project. The event will take place this Saturday 17th May 2025. 

We would welcome any assistance from our parent community on this day. There is a variety of jobs including mulching, painting, planting trees, carpentry etc. If you could spare a few hours on this Saturday morning we would be most grateful. Please let the school office know tomorrow(Friday)if you are available to assist. There will be a community barbeque at 1pm for the workers on that day.

 What is Groundforce

Groundforce is a project of Kardinia Community Services and Kardinia Church. It is a large scale, one day, landscaping makeover of the outdoor space of a local school, kindergarten or community organisation. This annual event enlists more than 150 volunteers from Kardinia Church who come together with participants from your organisation to complete the various projects we have agreed upon, making a significant contribution to the community in a practical, hands-on way of service. 

Schools and Community organisations are often faced with tight budgets and changing priorities which means they don’t always have the resources to keep up with outdoor maintenance or revitalisation of playgrounds and landscaping. 

Groundforce becomes a vital connection between church and community, using the people power of the local church, along with generous donations of materials, equipment and services from local businesses who sponsor this event. 

The team can complete projects in the following areas: Gardening and mulching, Painting, small scale construction/building projects and updating playground areas. 

Groundforce is provided free of charge to recipient organisations. 

Have a great weekend everyone
