Keen Green Team News

The Keen Green Team has been busy helping to make Boroondara Park Primary School a greener, cleaner and more sustainable place for everyone. Here's what's happening around our school!

August

The CHICKENS have names !

Green Wall

Students have chosen to construct a Green Wall with the some of the money they received from the VSGA win last year.

We have selected plants and last week collected a donation of pipes from Bunnings. We plan to drill into the pipes, fill them with potting mix and mount them on the Garden Shed fence. While none of us are engineers we are quietly confident that our plan will work!

We would however, appreciate volunteers with power tools to drill the holes for us. Please send an email to claire.ballot@education.vic.gov.au if you are able to assist. Of course you are also welcome to join us by sharing ideas or by supporting us with the installation.

The students chose this project after seeing a Farm Wall during their visit to Kew High School earlier this year. They are very excited about the possibility of this wall being a great learning experience for all at the school.

We will also be planting into the ground. We are busy preparing the gound for the plants we have chosen. These include passionfruit and hardenbergia climbers. Dwarf citrus trees will also be planted into pots as well as native tussock grasses for any visiting native animals.

Who guessed the correct weight of Dumpling?

A huge well done to everyone who entered our Guess the Weight of Dumpling competition! We were amazed by the fantastic guesses from students across the school.

Dumpling weighed exactly 1.6 kg, and we are excited to announce that five students guessed the exact weight! Congratulations to:-
