Students and Staff at St Thomas More will be participating in a weekly garden maintenance initiative. The students will be learning about and participating in the maintenance of a natural environment within our school and how to care for our common home. Each student and staff member will be given a pair of gardening gloves and other safety materials to use when participating in this sustainability-themed teaching and learning initiative.

This initiative is meeting various NESA requirements that will benefit our students. It is specifically achieving cross-curriculum learning outcomes for English, Mathematics, Religion, Science and Technology, Creative Arts and HSIE. As stated in NESA's Sustainability Statement, "contributing and making decisions about sustainability will help shape a better future that requires an understanding...and needs to be informed by experiences" (NESA, 2021). It is clearly evident the importance this initiative will have on our students and wider community. 

This initiative has received many generous donations from Campbelltown Catholic Club, West Leagues Club and Bunnings Gregory Hills. We thank these organisations for their donations towards this sustainability initiative.  

If you have any questions regarding this school-wide initiative, please contact Mr Lachlan Carter.
