23.01.2022 ALL spaces that students use should be BEAUTIFUL. Even spaces dedicated to routines need to communicate that the students are important and valued. That they also deserve a bathroom that is beautiful. The bathrooms at the Hive set the standard high... what students wouldn’t feel respected with a bathroom like this!! #thehive #environmentasthethirdteacher #pressedmetal #beautifullearningspaces #engagingenvironments #bluegumcommunityschool #preschool

05.01.2022 Following a conversation about weeds on Mt Majura, students decided that if they wanted to pick flowers they could only pick the weeds - repurposing them for beauty, also picked so that the native plants have more space to grow. #bluegumcommunityschool #outdoorclassroom #spottedbark #k/1 #environmentaleducation #seeingbeautyinweeds #nativevsintroduced #natureeducation #reserchbasededucation #mountmajura #canberraeducation

03.01.2022 Our Sustainability Program, using leftover building bacterial to beautiful an awkward space in our garden. Families shared cutting from their gardens and it is positioned in the perfect location to use the rainwater from the roof. Can’t wait to see it once they take off!!! #bluegumcommunityschool #communityday #sustainabilityprogram #collaborativeprojects #succulentlove #upcycling #sustainablegardening

03.01.2022 ‘Blue Gum Calendula Balm’ made from our kitchen garden program. We grew the calendula flowers to attract bees into the garden. Harvested the flowers and made calendula oil and then transformed the oil into a balm using beeswax. A wonderful process to follow from seed to balm. #kitchengarden #communityday #multiage #bluegumcommunityschool #connectingwiththeearth #natureeducation #makeyourown #capablekids
