Green Team Update

On June 30th, Year 10 students from Western Port Secondary School participated in an excursion to Woolley’s Beach. The excursion was part of an ongoing partnership with the Western Port Biosphere Foundation, funded by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s Climate Action Grant.

Students participated in a guided walk through the reserve with ecologist Gidja Walker and Western Port Biosphere Foundation staff Lucy Kyriacou and Jessica Brady. Students discovered the importance of living in a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and the Nationally and globally significant blue carbon ecosystems that exist there, mangroves, saltmarsh, and seagrass meadows. They were also introduced to the international importance of wetlands ecosystems such as Woolley’s Beach Reserve, which fall under the Ramsar Convention, designed to conserve our precious wetland systems and the species that rely on them.

While on the beach, there was the opportunity to engage in a hands-on learning experience with reserve Ranger Arne Matthesius continuing on works of a Oyster Reef restoration project.

Year 7 English Poems

Spring by Ruby P

Spring is wonderful

The flowers bloom gorgeously

Spring is like a dream

Beach by Lily H

B beaming sun shining down

E each and every sand particle means something

A air flowing through my hair.

C clouds nowhere to see in the sky

H having a happy time at the beach.

Black Saturday by Bella S

Animals weeping

Trees are engulfed by the flames

Plants burnt to the ground

Australia by Layla K

The kangaroo thuds his big brown feet on the red and dry cracked ground sending birds into a swing of panic squawking and flapping their wings. Birds with painted and patched wings fly up, up, up and away into orange and pink Australia sky.
