Working Bee This Sunday!

Just a quick reminder about this Sunday’s (12^th August) working bee at the school.

Start time is    10AM    till    1PM

Followed by a yummy Sausage Sizzle!

Jobs we are hoping to tackle:

-          Vegie plot in front of the gym – need to make rows of narrower easy to manage beds and the building lads will be busy with their circular saws.

-          Mowing – always heaps of mowing!

-          Leaf blowing of both the ovals (we’ll supply the blowers)

-          raking up of excess tan bark around the main oval

-          Planting under pinoaks along netball court.

-          Pigdon St edging on fence line - remove leaves etc.

-          Sand in both the playgrounds – rake and clean

-          “Soft Fall” tan bark in both playgrounds – rake to depleted areas.

-          Brick square planter boxes outside 5-6 N1 rooms – fill with mulch and soil for planting with Bromeliads.

The Facilities Committee and parents run working bees because the school cannot afford professional people to do basic maintenance tasks. Teaching programs are affected if funds have to be diverted into grounds upkeep that we can easily take care of as a community.  The last working bee attracted only 4 parents apart from the committee.  I know we can do better than that!

Please come along with your gardening gloves, rakes and shovels and let’s see what can be achieved when we all work together.  If you need more info, or unsure whether you should bring that rotary hoe you’ve got sitting in your back shed, give Will a ring on 0427 311 716 and he can advise!

Hope to see you there!

Will Richards and The Facilities Sub Committee.
