FUSION School Planting Service

(6 photos in this gallery)

Today, the Fusion Program students banded together with their Fusion adult Mentors, and the leadership and teaching of Mr Antony Hindle, our own School Gardener, to plant 85 new young bushes and grasses. They concentrated their efforts along the new curved pathway next to the Primary block. This adds to the already established and growing 2,500 plants planted last year in and around the carpark area. Mr Hindle and the School, are very grateful to the Fusion students and Mentors for this wonderful service to the School; to beautify and add colour, contrast, greenery and life to an otherwise bland landscape.

IMAS Excursion

On the 29th of June, Selah and I had the privilege of visiting three amazing Antarctic ice core researchers at IMAS (Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies). We were able to ask questions and write down many interesting facts and information about them and their jobs. Personally, it was an amazing experience as I have become interested in Antarctica through Duke of Ed at Southern. I am very thankful to have had this experience because many people cannot access these facilities.

The Institute of Marine and Antarctic Science (IMAS) is UTAS’ research facility for research students and scientific researchers. Today we were able to visit their facilities and collaborate with researchers in a project that has arose from our volunteering in our Duke of Edinburgh Award. It is always very inspirational and rewarding to meet with enthusiastic and incredible people who are passionate about learning and helping the planet. When I first went into IMAS, I didn’t think much of ice cores. However, upon hearing the researchers talk about their areas of study in the topic and hearing them share the techniques that they use, I found their enthusiasm contagious and realised that even such seemingly simple aspects of our planet are truly fascinating. We got to see the labs where research on ice cores occurs. It was inspirational to see where ground-breaking information on all sorts of topics is produced, including leading discoveries in climate modelling. In Hobart, we have more scientific researchers than anywhere else in Australia, especially in the marine and Antarctic fields. At SCC, we have more contacts and greater opportunities to work with and alongside these researchers than any other school in our country, which is a truly unique and valuable privilege that was given to us today.
