Sustainability & Gardening Club

Hello everyone! 

Books rescued for charity 

Several students did a fantastic job today of rescuing books that we no longer needed and organising to send them to the Big Group Hug charity, for children in need in Melbourne. Super well done to these students for rescuing these books from going to landfill. There were also lots of books that were outdated so we pulled any plastic covers off so that they could be recycled.  In the midst of their work, a representative from  CERES arrived to meet with Miss Belinda about Trinity’s plans for Sustainability and he was very impressed with the students’ initiative!

Volunteers who can gently water our vegetable garden, are very welcome on days other than the Thursday (we water on Thursday when Miss Belinda is here) - especially while our seedlings are so small. The vegetable gardens are located just outside the library, near the Prep and 1/2 classrooms. Students are welcome to use their water bottles or just ask Mrs Boffa in the office for the key to the shed to get a watering can. Our plants would really appreciated it! 

Parent Volunteers

We would love more parent volunteers to help us in the garden. If you are available on either an occasional or regular basis Miss Belinda would love to hear from you.  Email bnechwatal@tcs.catholic.edu.au. We meet Thursdays 10.45-11.35am. Volunteers need to have a Working With Children Check. There are also jobs that can be done at any time, for example if someone knows how to best prune a lemon tree, your experience would be very welcome.
