1 Wooragee Primary School Virtual Tour
2 What we are doing to be as sustainable as we can be: Wooragee Primary School is a tiny school doing BIG things for sustainability and the environment with; a fabulous organic kitchengarden program, recycling, composting, worm farming, chickens, bee hives, orchard, battery drop, olive grove and bush tucker garden. Students take care of the school native bush reserve, frog bog and native nesting box program.
3 Thirteen students aged 5-11 are very actively involved in every aspect of the sustainable living programs at Wooragee Primary School. They are supported by a team of dedicated adults; passionate teaching staff, parents, grandparents, community members, Wooragee Landcare group, Indigo Shire staff, Beechworth Corrections Community Team and Beechworth Health professionals. All of our families have a vegie patch at home! WOW!!
4 Every year we add something new to our school. This is a virtual tour of our exciting colourful sustinable living garden.
5 Our bright and beautiful Sun Flower Sculpture made from recycled metal is a symbol of sustainability.
6 Our battery drop program is loved by the community as it stops toxins from getting into the water table and makes us some money when we take them to the recyclers!
7 The yummy Olive Grove and Bush Tucker Garden are delicious too! Helping save our food miles! Here are some more areas of our garden
