At Pottsville Beach Public School, a commitment to holistic education beyond the classroom is evident as the school proudly announces the receipt of a 2024 Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant. Valued at $1,000, this grant will fund their ambitious multi-purpose garden project.
The vision for this initiative is to
establish an outdoor educational space fostering learning about ecosystems, sustainable food production, healthy nutrition, and First Nations’
environmental stewardship. Additionally, the garden will serve as a tranquil environment for students needing a break from indoor settings, encouraging sensory exploration in nature.
Students will actively engage in every stage of the project, from planning seed layouts suitable for our climate to germinating seeds, planting seedlings, garden maintenance, harvesting produce, and utilising fresh ingredients in school canteen recipes. They will also manage composting and a worm farm, and organise a community market stall.
To realise this vision, the school is mobilising support from parents, local businesses, and community organisations through volunteerism and donations. Contributions will not only enrich student learning but also promote sustainability and healthy lifestyles within the broader community.
For those interested in donating items, please contact the P&C at
Pottsville Beach Public School via email: pandc.pottsville@gmail.com. Heartfelt thanks go to Pottsville
Community Garden, Pottsville Sports Club, Village Hardware, Hummingbird Bakery and Gelato, Landcare Australia, and Woolworths for their invaluable support thus far.
With optimism, the school anticipates that this garden will become a cherished asset, instilling pride among all involved.
