Environmental Group

On Thursday of week 1, various students from Largs Bay revegetated a section of sand dunes at Torrens Island. The students planted around 500 plants during this time. We planted indigenous grasses and creepers to help all the sand stay in place so the remains of Aboriginal bones returned to this area would not get disturbed again. It was a privilege to be involved in such a special event.

Basketball

The 6/7 Basketball ball team lost their grand final at the end of term 2 but it was a big effort by all.

Well done, Jordan, Ashton, Myles, Sam, Bowen & a special thanks to Max H who has filled in for us when ever we are a player short. He's been a big part of the team.
