Biodiversity at Nunawading Christian College – 2012
Every Friday afternoon for the past few months, Year Prep/One and Year Two students at Nunawading Christian College, along with parent helpers, have been involved in a number of hands-on sustainability activities. These activities have included planting hundreds of native and indigenous plants, cleaning out the school chook yard, establishing an orchard, creating additional vegetable gardens, making a worm farm, and cooking using fresh produce from their vegetable plots.
The students have loved these activities and all agree that Friday afternoons are the best time of the week. We have had amazing support from our parents who faithfully attend every Friday afternoon to work alongside the students, answering questions and educating the children in sustainable practices.
