10.01.2022 WORKING BEE- TAROONA HIGH SCHOOL GROUNDS SUNDAY 26th August, 10am-12pm An invitation to all THS parents to join some parents involved in the care of the grounds. We are replanting the school turning circle bed after the recent road widening. No experience or equipment necessary.... Just come and enjoy a morning outside, and a chat to other parents! Children and young people welcome Tea, drinks and morning tea provided Meet near the gym at 10am. Contact Nicky Price with inquiries or just turn up - [email protected] 0409514900

07.01.2022 After the road widening to allow better bus access and parking, a dedicated band of volunteers planted the school turning circle out on Sunday 26th with a variety of low growing native plants. Nicky Price, Bec Johnson and Pip Watson were assisted by an able group of Taroona Environment Network (TEN) members (Nigel, Jane, Gustaaf, and Simon). Over 150 plants went in to replace those removed with the road works, this included replacing 4 gums. The gums are white peppermints- Eu...c pulchella which are local native and are the same species as the mature trees around the school gym and entrance- pics attached of what they will look like to 15 years! Many thanks to all those who helped, the school who paid for the plants, TEN for not only labour but the always important tool trailer and planning of the working bee (Nigel), and Plants Tasmania (John Gibson) who provided the plants at a low cost. It was a lovely morning with good conversation, tea and home baked biscuits, and better still that it was all finished before some pouring rain. Anyone interested in joining us for the next working bee, or to join the ground sub-committee let me know. If interested in the grounds sub-committee- you don’t have to be able to come to the school association committee meetings, just help out around grounds matters/works when available.
