New Native Garden at MSCW

The College was successful in receiving funding from the Federal Government, via the Communities Environment Program, to establish a new native garden on the lower section of the campus, near the sports courts. This site was previously covered in weeds, but its terraced position and sunny aspect provided the perfect location for our new garden.

The aim of the project was to deliver both positive environmental and social outcomes. The garden will provide staff and students with a first-hand experience of native bush regeneration, at the same time showing the importance of sustaining native flora and fauna. In fact, native birds began to visit during the planting stage!

It is hoped the garden will provide the opportunity for ongoing education to those that visit the site. We have included before and after photos to allow you to see what we were able to achieve.

The College would like to thank Mr Trent Zimmerman MP, Member for North Sydney, for his support with our funding application.
