National Tree Planting Day - Wednesday 2nd August

SJV is one of the first Catholic Schools to be a part of the Sustainable School Program -  supported by the ACT Government.

Today Mrs Stilling's husband and Mr Rodda collected from the Yarralumla Nursery a gift of 15 established native trees and 35 shrubs for our school - the trees will be planted within the school grounds for future shade and the native shrubs will help to establish our indigenous garden.

A huge thankyou to Alice from Yarralumla nursery who was a wealth of knowledge to Janice when choosing the right trees for the playground. 

Special mention to Trevor Stilling (Mrs Stilling's husband) and Mr Rodda for their early morning drive to Yarralumla Nursery to collect the trees and transport them safely back to SJV.

The saying is true... 'many hands make light work'.

If you are free next Wednesday morning from 9:30am to support the teachers and students to plant the trees - they would appreciate it.

Wednesday 9th August 

A huge SJV thanks to Bunnings Tuggeranong, who will be visiting our lunchtime sustainability group to facilitate a workshop - a veggie/seedling planting activity in preparation for our school fete. 

We really appreciate their ongoing support for our sustainability group.

Thank you!

Happy Gardening !!
