LUNCHTIME GARDENING UPDATE
While the rain has been beneficial for our gardens, it hasn’t been as kind to our lunchtime gardening group, leading to several washed-out Wednesdays. Nevertheless, we remain committed to our mission of beautifying our outdoor space!
Our team is diligently cleaning around the large tree and creating exciting play areas, including a dirt track, a whimsical fairy garden, a colorful painted rock garden, a beach area, a reptile park, and our very own wormery. This term, we have ambitious plans to install a frog hotel, propagate succulents, and replenish our vegetable garden beds.
We would greatly appreciate any donations of horse or cattle manure and succulents to support our efforts this term. Thank you for your continued support in nurturing our green oasis!
10c RETURN AND EARN RECYCLING
We have recently updated our account details for our 10c Return and Earn Recycling
Program.
Families are asked to conveniently take their 10c drink containers straight to the High Speed Depot Drop Off at 47 South Street, South Kempsey whenever it suits you.
The School Office has small cards with our NEW Crunch Account details on it to keep in your car (or use this bar code).
All proceeds are used to assist with our St Joseph’s veggie garden and related learning activities.
Collection bags are still available in the Canteen Foyer. Children who recycle by visiting the High Speed Drop Off will still receive a prize from the Enviro Prize Box (see Mrs Hagger in the Canteen). Just be sure to bring in your docket to Mrs Tarrant.
SUSTAINABILITY HUB
old phones, batteries, used stamps, prescription glasses, toothpaste tubes/brushes and plastic writing implements.
Please feel free to drop these into the bins located in the canteen foyer.
If you have other items that you think the school may be able to use for art/craft etc please contact us.
