Our budding green thumbs team up at Tree Planting Day

On Thursday 30 July, Balcombe Grammar students from Foundation to Year 9 teamed up with their Buddies to launch the first stage of our Balcombe Biodiversity Corridor Blitz.

Together, older students assisted younger students with planting indigenous species to help create a thriving habitat for local wildlife while contributing to a meaningful, long-term environmental project.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Bunnings Mornington for their generous donation of native plants, and to Ailz Pedder, Bunnings Activities Organiser, for joining us on the day. We also acknowledge the outstanding support of our Grounds Team, Mat Parsons and Jared Volfsbergs, whose expertise helped bring the project to life.

Sustainability Coordinator, Rachel Clements, said it is through authentic, hands-on experiences such as these, students have the opportunity to develop a deeper connection to the natural world and learn that every action, no matter how small, can contribute to positive change.
