South Lake Primary School took part in a revegetation program, planting several fresh plants at its Mason Court base.

Principal Leigh Liley said students from kindergarten to Year 6 planted dozens of native plants.

“Students were assisted by parent volunteers, student councillors and Bunnings staff, who provided expert advice on how to successfully plant natives,” she said.

“Students were totally enthralled and had a wonderful time.”
