Schools Tree Day and Brodies Creek Revegetation

Studies over the years have shown that spending time in nature, be it in remote wilderness or simply a forest closer to home, does wonders for our health. To this end, in the last couple of weeks, a number of students were involved in the Schools Tree Day and Brodies Creek Revegetation projects at the College. These events have allowed students to spend time out of the classroom, actively enhancing the quality of the environment along and surrounding the creek. Well over 900 plants and shrubs were planted, a great effort! It was great to see the students enjoy this unique experience, even if it meant getting a bit muddy! There were plenty of smiling faces and enthusiasm from everyone, affirming the idea that time spent in the environment creates positive vibes. It will be rewarding for the students to watch these plants grow in the years ahead. Thank you to everyone who organised and participated in these projects.
