Exciting News: Our Composting Journey!

A huge thank you to our amazing students who have eagerly been depositing their food waste into our designated bins throughout the day. Your enthusiasm is truly inspiring! ?

We also want to extend our gratitude to the dedicated staff for following the roster and ensuring each class gets a chance to collect food scraps, break them down with shovels, and add them to our compost area. This teamwork has been fantastic!

This year, we've been accumulating compost in preparation for our Miyawaki Forest. The compost will be used to enrich our soil ahead of our planting day on August 6th. ??

In fact, the collection of food waste has significantly reduced our overall rubbish, and we are excited to continue this composting process to benefit our school. This hands-on, life skill is directly linked to science and is a wonderful way for students to learn and grow.

Thank you to everyone involved for making a positive impact on our environment and our school community!

*The photo’s show some of the Compost journey we have experienced so far. Many of our students have loved helping with the process. Dr Grey Coupland has been coming out each week to check the compost temperatures, record the number of minibeasts present, turning the compost over and more recently incorporating biochar in half of it to see if there is a more sustainable way we can develop the pocket forest planting in future.
