Sustainability at St Raphael's

Walk to school

Congratulations to all students who participated in our exciting walk to school activities last month.  Many families chose to walk, ride or scoot to school, some students joined in the fun on Greenland with aerobics and walk&talk and many participated in Wednesday morning fitness.  All these activities help start the day on the right foot with active bodies helping active minds.  We improved on last year's participation result by 10% increasing our logged in participation rate to 33.3%   That's 2727 km St Raphael's kids have traveled all together.  If we had been in a relay race that would have got us all the way to Perth!

Let's keep up the great work and continue being a happy, healthy and sustainable school.

Fairy garden update

Back in Term 1, Garden Club created a Fairy Garden.  We planted seedlings, added trinkets and sprinkled magic to welcome our fairy friends.  Now it's Term 4 and look how our beautiful Fairy Garden has become.
