THANKS TO THE STUDENTS WHO HELPED MRS. BALLOT PLANT APPROXIMATELY 500 PLANTS DURING TERM 3. The plants are loving the warmer conditions and are thriving. 

These plants were donated by Boroondara Council and we had planned to plant them with the students and families. Luckily, we had a number of keen students who were on-site and able to help with the planting. Thank you !
