Schools Tree Day 2025



On Friday the 25th of July our school came together to celebrate Schools Tree Day, a special day dedicated to planting trees, caring for our environment, and learning about sustainability.

This year, we were honoured to have our local MP, Jodie Belyea, visit our school to join in the celebrations.  Jodie rolled up her sleeves and helped two of our enthusiastic Prep students plant some new plants out the front of our school.  It was wonderful to see our youngest students working alongside a community leader to make a positive difference for our environment!

Throughout the morning, students from all year levels worked hard planting a variety of Indigenous plants provided free from the Frankston Council in garden beds and along fences within our school grounds.  They took turns digging holes, planting carefully, and watering the new plants.  It was a fantastic way for our students to take pride in making our school greener and more welcoming for everyone, including local wildlife!

Chocolate/Lolly Box Fundraiser

A Note from the Fundraising Committee

As you may have seen, we’re currently running a Cadbury chocolate box fundraiser. We wanted to share how your support is helping us reach our goals!

Our main goal right now is to raise essential funds to refurbish the basketball court — a much-needed upgrade for our community.

Here’s how it works:

  • Each chocolate box raises $20
  • Each lolly box raises $25

It’s simple: purchase a box, sell the chocolates or lollies, and you’ll make your money back — all while supporting a great cause!

Thank you for your help!
