Working Bee - This Sunday, July 16

The sun was shining yesterday for our working bee and the P&F would like to extend their thanks to Carlo and Angelina Piccolo for organising the event and running it. A huge thank you to all the families who volunteered to assist in yesterday's working bee to refresh the courtyard gardenThe volunteers cleared the garden beds and planted some new native plants that will flourish in the coming months and years and the results are just wonderful. Special thanks to Troy Walters as well for removing the mosaics in the back corner of the oval in preparation for phase two of our planned garden updates scheduled to happen later in the year. Many hands make light work, and it was fantastic to see so many families pitching in to help improve the playspaces the kids can enjoy!
