Service Learning Timean Style

July 27, 2018

A big thanks to Kevin McCloud for allowing us to work with him in spending some time weeding and planting at Bindaree park, one of the many local wetland regions that the FoY are involved in.

It is hoped that the students can build a connection with their local environment and become involved in serving community organisations such as FoY, leading the way for other students to get involved in supporting their local environment.

WANTED Plant Pots

July 26, 2018

An excellent group of our Yr 11 student are fundraising for their service learning trip to Cambodia next year. As part of this we are looking for empty plant pots that you may have filling up your back shed. If you want to get rid of them they would be greatly appreciated and accepted by the group. The pots can be left either up at the Science building or Student services.

Thank you in anticipation.

Service Excursion Timae

July 17, 2018

A group of ten year 11 and 12 students went to Ronald McDonald House to participate in their ‘Lovin’ from the Oven’ experience. They made morning tea for the families staying in the house. These families have children who are sick in the new children’s hospital and Ronald McDonald House is very much their ‘home away from home’. The students were also given a tour of the facilities, including seeing inside the rooms which families can stay in, the teen hang out area and the roof top garden.
