Clean-Up Australia Day 2008

This year on Sunday, 2nd March, our 43 volunteers and 4 supervisors picked up 15 full bags of rubbish from the Homebush Boys' High School, Airey Park, Flemington shops, and West Homebush area. Five of the fifteen bags of rubbish will be recycled, rather than going to landfill. 

The Clean-Up Australia Council is also promoting "Clean-Up Global Warming" to try and reduce Global Warming pollution. Students can play a great part in this, by educating their parents and others about how to reduce this type of pollution. Students have a choice to use less coal-fired electricity for air-conditioning, taking shorter hot showers, or walking or taking public transport.  

Botany, Bio-Diversity, and Bush Regeneration Dates for 2008

All Year 7 to Year 11 students are expected to participate in the Monastery's monthly Botany, Bio-diversity, and Bush Regeneration activities with the Strathfield Council at least once per year. Approximately half the class should come to each Year activity.

Students are to meet at the Monastery at 8:30am on the Saturday (or Sunday) morning. Students are driven to the site by monastery bus, and then returned to the Monastery at 12 noon by HTM teachers.

All participants are under the direction of Strathfield Council's trained horticulturalists, who provide training, plant identification, and all tools and any seedlings. Students will be re-planting indigenous vegetation, or helping in weeding non-indigenous plants. 

The Youth Fellowship provides some morning tea. Students should dress for gardening in old clothes, shoes, with a hat, and according to weather expectations. Youth Fellowship members may bring friends and family provided they give prior advice and have a parent permission note.
