WORKING BEES 2024

Our Buildings and Grounds subcommittee conducted a grounds audit last term, identifying a priority list of works to improve our school environment. 

We have locked in two dates for Working Bees this year:

Term 3 – SUNDAY 25TH AUGUST 10 AM – 12 PM
Term 4 – FRIDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 3.30 PM – 5.30 PM

If you have a couple of hours to spare on either or both of those dates your efforts are greatly welcomed and very much appreciated. A signup link is forthcoming. 

Our first working bee on the 25th we will be focusing on general tidying, removal of miscellaneous unwanted items around the school, weeding and tending to garden beds, clearing out our storage shipping containers.
