World Environment Day, celebrated each year on June 5, is the most renowned day for environmental action.
This year the theme is biodiversity – a concern that is both urgent and existential. Recent events, from the bushfires in Australia, the US and Brazil, to locust infestations across East Africa – and now, a global disease pandemic – demonstrate the interdependence of humans and the webs of life, in which we all exist.
As we enter into a week celebrating the World Environment, we want to highlight how some of our schools are caring for our earth, like Holy Family Primary School East Granville.
Bede Polding College Agriculture students have been busy replanting their gardens in the lead up to Environment Week.
How lucky are the students St Columba's Catholic College Celebrates as they have their very own farm onsite.
Check out the chickens, roosters, llamas and cows. They look so well cared for.

A big thank you to Senior Sergeant Mark Kniepp for joining us at our assembly today to promote National Walk Safely to School Day next Friday and share important road safety reminders with our students. 🚸 Students were encouraged to remember the important message: Stop, Look, Listen and Think whenever they are near roads and traffic. Walking safely to and from school is a great way to build healthy habits, independence and road awareness. Families are invited to register their child’s participation via Compass and support this important community event. 👟💛

Our Kindergarten explorers had the best time on their excursion today! After diving into our science unit on living things, it was so much fun to step out of the classroom and see nature in action. From spotting busy bugs to identifying different plants, our little scientists put their observation skills to the test. There’s nothing quite like seeing their faces light up when they connect what we’ve been learning in books to the real world! 🔍✨ Check out some highlights from our big adventure! 📸
