Students plant seeds of future today

A group of the school's Year 3 and 4 students took part in a number of activities throughout the day to learn about the important role trees play in the environment.

A number of students also helped to plant a donated Silver Princess tree, one of a vulnerable species usually only found in the Wheatbelt region.

Principal Janine Bersan said the event was a great way to show how committed the school was to developing a sustainable environment.

"Many lessons had a relationship to trees throughout the week and students built a knowledge that trees are vital to our existence; they provide oxygen, store carbon, stabilise the soil and give life to the world's wildlife and we need to promote and look after trees," she said.

"School Tree Day was very important to our school as it inspired and educated our students about our unique land."

Richmond Primary School students also participated in a National Tree Day event.
