As part of the garden beautification program grade 5/6C has been busy with their gazebo garden. Planting is well underway, mulching is nearly completed and rocks and garden ornaments have been strategically placed.

The whole grade worked hard carting soil from the oval and mulch down to the gazebo to turn this area into a great garden. They have planted Australian natives and grasses and when the plants grow they will provide a very pleasant environment in and around the gazebo. An old desk, a book stand and a dilapidated wheelbarrow have been pulled out from under the school and used as ornaments around which creeping plants will be planted.

The grade would like to thank Rose and Barry Mace for their hard work preparing for our garden - loosening the dirt on the dirt pile, clearing the area of self-seeded oak trees and other unwanted plants and weeds and prining the overgrown trees and then supervising the work. This will now become an on-going project for the grade and our aim is to incorporate steps from the gazebo down to the basketball court, stopping the muddy quagmire that develops whenever it rains.
