MOOLOOLAH State School students have been buzzing with the news of a newly installed native stingless beehive, which was installed on school grounds last month. The beehive, along with native seedlings, tools and educational materials were purchased by the school through grants received by Woolworths Landcare and Sundale Community.
The school places an emphasis on outdodor learning as part of the curriculum, with the native beehive the perfect addition. Students have had the opportunity to participate in projects to rehabilitate a dedicated section of rainforest on school grounds, now with a focus on replenishing the rainforest with native plant seedling purchased through the grants.
“It’s such a unique and positive space within the school, and the teachers and students have volunteered so much of their own time to restore it to its former glory,” shared P&C vice president Katie Tietjen. The beehive and rainforest will continue to provide outdoor educational learning for years to come.
