Enviro Club

Zak Rudin —

2017 has been a productive year for the Enviro Club.

 We started the year off with a bang, creating a renewed collective interest in the LPHS Enviro Club with an Enviroschools themed day; throughout the day ideas were shared and explored by a massive group of students ranging from year 9 through to year 13. This led onto the highly productive 2017 Work Day in which the Enviro Club focused on cleaning up the Science courtyard including the glasshouse, making the outside space tidy and user-friendly for the Science/Biology classes. Since then we have had a small yet motivated and effective team working on a variety of tasks focused on the Science Courtyard. The outdoor baths, have been maintained and are now home to a massive amount of microscopic life and quite a few nicely maturing tadpoles, which will soon be frogs. The glasshouse, now equipped with an efficient sprinkler system has been filled with a vast selection of native plant seedlings, transplanted from various locations around the school. Our most recent project is the painting of a mural on the science courtyard shed, which we hope to complete by the end of the year. I look forward to every single one of the Enviro Club’s weekly meetings, and I am very happy with the way the Enviro Group has been working this year. I am confident that our year of hard work will continue into the following year and I can’t wait to be a part of what we do next.
