National Tree Planting Day was established in 1996 by Planet Ark to ask Australians to come together, get their hands dirty and give back to the community by getting outside and planting trees.  Since National Tree Day began, over 26 million trees have been planted!
Trees are an important part of our environment as they absorb and capture carbon from our atmosphere and the timber they produce is an environmentally friendly building material.  For these reasons it is important we continue to plant trees and look after our natural environment.
On Friday 28th July the students enjoyed planting over 45 plants around the school as a way to give back to the land they live on and to help the environment.

On Monday Musica Viva came to our school and performed a song based show for the students and staff based on the theme "Finding your Musical Balance".  Everyone was taken on a journey to discover that performing and creating music is just like learning to ride a bike.  The songs were about courageous journeys, spectacular failures that lead to growth and success, and dealing with stress and anxiety.
