Year 12 Indigenous Garden

Year 12 Indigenous Garden

As part of the year 12 VCAL program we focused on Indigenous culture. To meet our outcomes in PDS and WRS we decided to create an outdoor learning space to reflect our research on Indigenous culture.

We sourced local indigenous plants from Bellarine Landcare, many of which were used for medicinal purposes.

Another theme of the garden is the artwork featured on the pots plants, which we decorated with Kangaroos, Wombats and Indigenous Warrior paintings.

We officially opened the garden last Thursday (24th of May) and it was great to see so many students and staff appreciating our hard work. We also have a Community Bookbox in the garden where students, staff and visitors to the College can grab a book to read. We look forward to seeing the new learning space being enjoyed not only at recess and lunch but also throughout the day. Many thanks to Mr Martschinke, Mr Clatworthy and Mrs Purnell for their support and guidance.
