​On Wednesday, LGB worked with Sally Jensen, our ResourceSmart Co-ordinator, to conduct a Biodiversity Audit of
our school grounds.
Marcus , Gus , Charlotte and Daniel observed and counted insects in the peace garden such as centipedes, slaters,
slugs ,spiders, ants and crickets plus a frog.
Corey , Bree , Bec , and Jacob observed and counted 47 birds and they were rosellas and finches.
James, Hunter P, Hunter F and Hayley observed and counted 34 birds, 30 rainbow lorikeets and 4 pigeons.

Our Sustainability Action Plan for 2017 has been discussed and agreed by the Sustainability Group at our Term 1 workshop.

​In the Sustainability lesson this week, LGA students had fun estimating and measuring the
height of the huge sunflowers that are growing in the garden. The largest sunflowers, planted
last December by Thomas and Connor, currently measure 190 centimetres. They are still
growing, so we can’t wait to see how much taller they will grow.
