Kalinda Sustainablity 

Kalinda Sustainability Report

Kalinda Biodiversity Audit

Next term our Sustainability Leaders and Wildlife Warriors will be completing a Biodiversity audit of our school grounds. Working with representatives from Resource Smart Schools, these students will take an in-depth look at the types of flora and fauna we have at Kalinda. This information will then be tracked over time to see how the various species of plants and animals are living and growing in our Kalinda community. 

What plants and animals have you noticed around the school?

A message from our Sustainability Leaders…

This week at assembly we will be introducing our new ‘Sustainability Suggestion Box’. It will be stationed at the office.

This box is for ideas for ways to improve sustainability and biodiversity at Kalinda. Everyone's opinion matters to us and we would love to hear your ideas!

It is as simple as writing your idea on a sticky note or piece of paper and putting it in this box. You can add your name and class or make it anonymous. 

You might like to think about ways we can reduce litter in the yard, how we can use less electricity and how we can do better to look after the plants and animals in our school grounds. 

So please write your amazing ideas. It will help us a lot and we will be checking the box every week!

Can you help us water our gum trees? 

Earlier this year we planted over 30 new gum trees around the school. As the weather is warming up, we are looking for some volunteers to help us water these new trees over the upcoming holidays. 

What does helping look like? 

BYO watering can(s) and come up to the school on your designated day. We have a number of trees planted along the back fence of the school, next to the Urban Forest as well as some in the nature area which will need some water. There is an external tap near the Foundation classrooms which can be used to fill the watering cans. 

Interested? Great! Please contact me at giulia.bulled@education.vic.gov.au and let me know the day(s) you are available to help out. I will put a timetable together and get it out before the end of the term.

We really appreciate your support!
