A number of projects at the school are on offer, teaching students about sustainability.

The projects include composting, an orchard, worm farm and plant growing.

They are also receiving solar power, rainwater tanks, egg incubators, a chicken coop, fruit trees and a Geraldton wax crop.

Students have also been busy collecting ring pulls from cans and also bread tags.

Ring pulls are donated to the Lions club and can be used to help amputees and the bread tags donated to help raise funds for mental health.

A $50,000 grant was received from the Federal Government towards their solar electricity panels.

Principal Chris Baldock said “the projects help to give children a positive idea on how to look after animals, be sustainable and also entrepreneurial”.

The school will use the fruit trees to make jam and spreads and the Geraldton wax to market to florists so they can raise money for the school.

Children love the chance to get their hands dirty and oversee growth with student Beau Leecroft saying: “I like getting the opportunity to get plants growing up for the school and also getting to work with other people”.

Fellow student Hayden Lock said: “It all looks good and I like being able to work with friends”.
