This week each class began an audit of the Biodiversity of our schoolyard for the ResourceSmart Schools annual
Biodiversity Audit.
The Juniors counted the logs and rocks that are home to a variety of mini beasts and beneficial insects. They found slaters, worms, earwigs and witchetty grubs making
themselves at home in our schoolyard.
Middle school students identified, labelled and counted the plants in the
Indigenous Garden.
Senior students counted the trees, shrubs and grasses in the schoolyard and calculated the number of native birds and animals and the percentage of mulched areas, weeds and grassed areas.
We will document the information we gathered and then make a Biodiversity plan for what we need to do and
plant to increase the Biodiversity of our school grounds. We have already received a $100 grant from The
Seedling Bank to plant more trees and shrubs on Tree Day on 27 July.
