Aussie Backyard Bird Count

A massive THANK YOU to all those Green Team members who partook in the Aussie Bird Count today (Tuesday 17th October). We had a wonderful time connecting with nature and managed to spot a variety of birds including rainbow lorikeets, magpies, noisy miners, wattlebirds and blackbirds. 

This data will be used by BirdLife Australia to look for trends in bird communities – an important indicator of healthy environments. It would be fabulous for families to get involved in this initiative. The Aussie Bird Count runs this entire week until 22nd October and only takes 20 minutes.

Whether you do it in your garden, the local park, a beach or even your town centre, your information will help develop an understanding of local bird wildlife.

The Year 5s were involved with creating this installation with artist Rachel Wood! 

From Mon 2 October 2023 until Sat 16 December 2023 at Hawthorn Arts Centre, 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn.

Presented as a part of ‘Make, Mend, Do’, ‘Universally Repaired’ is a community art installation created by multi-disciplinary artist Rachel Wood and members of the Boroondara community.

Part art installation, part museum artefact, ‘Universally Repaired’ is Rachel’s impression of the Ozone layer, installed in the Explore and Create space at Hawthorn Arts Centre. This large-scale work is made only from recycled materials and is a collection of smaller art pieces made by community members through workshops, social circles, and student classrooms.

Along with creating the artwork, the conversations throughout these sessions will revolve around our role in fashion and how we can be a positive force to ensure our clothes have a second life and don’t end up in landfill. More info.
