During Term 4, the VCAL group finally able to get their hands dirty and use their applied skills to design and create a garden on the school grounds. Due to Covid-19 the students were unable to participate in many of the planned activities and this was a great way to finish the year off. Working in teams, the students learned valuable skills that would be transparent and necessary in the workplace. Students looked at Work Health and Safety of the working area, planning, budgeting and purchasing.
With the assistance of the College gardener, the students were guided in implementing an irrigation system, planting native trees and shrubs and moving a whole lot of soil and bark.
The final results were a great outcome for the College.
Thank you to Tim and Phil (gardener) for supporting the students during the project.
