Environmental Education

Banana Water is a liquid fertiliser for the garden. 

To make banana water, you need to have banana skins and an empty container. We used old milk containers. After cutting the skins into smaller pieces, you put them in the container and then fill with water. Allow to soak for 3-4 days. Before using on the garden, you need to strain the banana peels out of the container. 

Our gardens have loved the extra care and nutrients provided.

Eco Schools - Circular Economy - it's not waste until you waste it!

On Friday 5 March, we participated in Clean Up Australia Day for schools. Students put on their gloves, grabbed a bucket and got busy collecting litter from around the school grounds. 

Students also made a pledge to show how they could help reduce litter and waste all year round. 

Eco Schools - Litter and Waterways

In the lead up to World Bee Day, we have been sharing our knowledge about bees and learning more about these extremely important insects. 

During our lessons, some students built bee hotels and bee baths, learnt about the life cycle of a honey bee, completed a garden audit to see if our gardens are bee friendly, while others used honey to make delicious whole wheat honey muffins. 

Eco Schools - Biodiviersity Habitat and Homes

We have been busy in our gardens growing our winter vegetables and herbs. Classes have spent time maintaining the gardens, planting, watering, adding banana water and watching the seedlings grow. 

Looking forward to harvest time!
