Year 8 students support Bushlink

For many years now, our school has supported the Northside Enterprises wonderful  Bushlink program. This program employs adults with an intellectual disability to carry out environmental projects with a focus on bush regeneration, gardening and grounds maintenance work.

Much of the work that Bushlink has performed in our school has been in the area at the back of our playing field and relates to the regeneration of the bushland to its natural habitat. They have also worked at maintaining the garden area along the front of our hall and in planting native seedlings in the garden areas in the main quad.

Recently about 25 Year 8 students volunteered to work with the Bushlink staff at various times throughout the day in the bush regeneration area with another group of 25 Year 8 students assisting the next week . This is a great opportunity for our students to provide additional support for Bushlink and work closely with an outstanding group of young men and women. This will now be an ongoing commitment of our Year 8 giving back to the community program to provide real and meaningful assistance to this innovative employment model.
