Our Year 6 Boys Education program, delivered in partnership with Wooglemai Environmental Education Centre, supports our Year 6 boys to build teamwork, leadership, and personal growth.
Environmental Initiatives
Our students learn about caring for the environment through hands-on experiences. They take part in helping to maintain our Mawarra Community Garden. Students grow fresh produce, learn about composting, and care for our chickens — Oreo, Harriet, and Hei Hei. These activities help build responsibility, teamwork, and a love of nature.
