We’ve been successful with our application for a 2021 Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant for our project, Wheeler’s Worms! This will help our composting system here at WHPS. We were able to buy 4 composting systems to place around the school (see picture).

As well, we were successful in receiving a ‘Bee Bonus’. This term (Term 3, 2021), Year 1 and 2 students are going to build a Bee Sanctuary with bee hotels and plant bee attracting flowers. Our Year 1 and 2 students will be learning about the importance of bees in pollinating flowers! Stay tuned for some photos when it is complete 🙂

Wheelers Hill Primary School is one of 1,609 primary schools and early learning centres throughout Australia receiving a Woolworths Junior Landcare grant to help grow our next generation of environmental champions.

The grants are being funded with a 10c contribution from each sale of the Woolworths Bag for Good at full price, which was launched in 2018 when Woolworths went single-use plastic bag free.

The children and teachers are looking forward to working and learning from this project. Click on the Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant map to read about our project and others.
