2011 Canada Bay Council Sustainability Awards

We won our first award! 

All Hallows Parish School Community Garden was nominated for a 2011 Sustainability Award by Canada Bay Council.  We are thrilled to announce that we won the category 'Environment Community Organisation Award' at their Awards Night last Monday night.  Michelle Carrick received the award on behalf of the school and was presented by Mayor Angelo Tsirekas, with a beautifully framed certificate and $200 of vouchers for us to spend at Bunnings.  

Well done to everyone involved in the development of the garden so far, and congratulations especially to the Year 5/6 children that have been maintaining the Compost system within the school.

Arrival of Chickens!

One piece of exciting news this week is the arrival of 6 Chinese Silkie hens and their fantastic hen house and run. You will find them up behind the Church near the Peoples' Units.  These were very well-loved and generously donated to our Garden by a parish family, and they are settling in well – one has even laid an egg already!  We do need to organise a system for their care - a meeting will be held outside the Parish Hall this Saturday morning at 9am for those interested in being added to this Roster. 

The first egg!
