Our senior Agriculture and Horticulture students have this term been busy propagating some native grasses for the landscape around our College grounds. They have learned the specific cultivating technique and growing needs of the plants and worked as a team to begin preparing the plants.
Biodiversity is a key feature of a healthy, balanced environment as it provides a habitat for a range of flora and fauna to live in. As part of our sustainability goals at MLMC, we continue to work with our students to increase the variety of native vegetation on our College grounds to promote biodiversity and increased species habitat.
Environment Prefect Sophie Morris writes below about the task:
The hands-on experience has been a great opportunity to take a break from traditional study and has allowed the class to consolidate the content we have learned in a practical way. It has been a nice break from the VCE classroom, equipping students with useful skills in the industry and will contribute to an increased biodiversity around the school.
