Below our students describe two of Happy Valley School's important Environmental Projects. |
|
|
Worms, Composting and Scraps |
|
|
Every day after lunch three students from our class do scraps. They are Jack Spacie, Jayden Perry and Tom Hall. After lunch we collect Mr. Mueller's, the Staff Room and the Canteen's scrap bucket. We get the key from the Front Office and take the scrap buckets down to the Propagation Shed. We tip the food scraps into the bins that have the least food scraps in them and then we tip the other scraps into the worm bins. We then water all the plants in the propagation shed. We then use the compost on our garden and to help propagate plants. |

| Paper Recycling | |
|
Our class chose to do paper recycling so Mr Mueller had to choose some people to do it and he chose Elle Campbell, Ben Braddon and Jake Lawrence. Every Tuesday after lunch we go to get the technology room key from the front office and then we unlock the technology room and get our boxes. We then go to the staff room and the front office to collect the scrap paper. We then take the paper back to the tech room. The week after we put the boxes out on the side of the road to be collected by Onkaparinga Council for recycling. |

During
the last week of Term 1, Happy Valley School was visited by Michael
Keelan and June Taylor from radio station 5AA. Michael and June, who
host a gardening programme on 5AA on Saturday mornings, came to school
to see and hear first hand about the really wonderful environmental and
recycling projects that have been developed in our school.
While they were at the school, Michael and June were taken by our student guides on a tour of the Panalatinga Reserve, the Propagation Area, the Edible Garden and the School Wetland. The student guides, Joshua Cryer, Adrian Veljkovic, Justin Szeitz, Kristi Grigoris, Elise Hardwick, Elle Campbell, Rebecca Jutilane-Maynard and Jayden Perry explained how the students of the school have developed these projects and of the value they bring to their study program throughout the year. Well done to our student guides for being such great ambassadors for our school!
