Picnics

The Youth Fellowship Exco organised the summer picnic to Shark Beach in Vaucluse in January 2011 and the Autumn picnic to Audley and the Royal National Park in April. The other picnics have yet to be decided.

Clean-Up Australia Day 2011

This year our 33 volunteers and 6 supervisors picked up 11 bags of rubbish from the Homebush Boys’ High School, Airey Park, Homebush shops, Flemington shops, and West Homebush area. This year, to help aid recycling, the rubbish bags were white, and the recycle bags were bright orange. Of the 11 bags, 5 contained recyclable plastics, glass, and aluminium and steel cans, and paper and cardboard in good condition. The other 6 bags of rubbish were picked up and will be “disposed of” in landfill, a very unsatisfactory way to process rubbish, which risks contaminating the ground water.

Botany, Bio-Diversity, and Bush Regeneration Dates for 2011

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.

This year's theme is "Limited time, unlimited .... It was suggested by Peter He Yr 10. It might mean that young people have limited time to do things, and yet seem to have large (unlimited) opportunities to do many different things, that their parents were not able to do.

Mr Kiddle is the 2011 co-ordinator.
