Throughout Semester 1, students in the VCE Agriculture and Horticulture classes have been spending time learning about the revegetation of the wetlands at Quarry Road Oval.
Below student Celeste T (Year 12 Green) writes about what the class has been doing:
As Agriculture students, it’s a given that we all love being outside, so we were all very grateful to take a break from all the theory and get outside to practice what we have learned. Mr Voorzaat sent us on a mission to complete the regeneration of plant life and boost the health of the ecosystem down at Quarry Road. We carried out this task by planting a variety of shrubs, trees and bushes, using our knowledge of where particular plants should be planted in relation to the water table and the soil. It was an enjoyable experience that helped us put into action all of the valuable practical knowledge we had been given in the classroom.
