NATIONAL RIDE 2 WORK DAY

Blessed with glorious weather, on Wednesday 21 October 29 students and six staff members traded their fuelled travel options for pedal power to celebrate National Ride 2 Work Day. Westcourt staff and students in particular, demonstrated wonderful support with 11 students and five staff members riding to work. All participants received a hot drink voucher for their efforts.

ENVIROSERVICE

On Monday 26 October, Enviroservice commenced for Term 4, providing students an opportunity to conduct their Service Learning hours at school and help maintain our native gardens and beautify our College grounds at the same time. Students involved maintained our new indigenous food planter boxes and the indigenous garden on the south embankment of Carey Oval (established 2017). Whilst toiling the soil, students were provided information regarding the binomial names of the species, their potential use by the traditional custodians of the land (the Wadawurrung people) and the origin of where the seeds were propagated (including Queens Park, East Geelong and Avalon). The next Enviroservice is scheduled for Wednesday 4 November.
