Native garden to be planted for Queen's jubilee
Woy Woy Public School has received funding to plant trees to recognise The Queen's Jubilee through the federal government's Planting Trees for The Queen's Jubilee program.
The school will use the $14,000 funding to build a native garden that will promote play-based learning and recognise The Queen's Jubilee.
Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid attended an official breaking-of-the-earth ceremony with Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch and staff and students from Woy Woy Public School.
"It's been great to see what Woy Woy Public School plans to build with this funding."
He said the educational benefits of the garden would include play-based learning, studying native trees and plants and understanding the food that these plants provided to native animals and insects.
"I look forward to visiting when the project is complete and seeing the school community connect to nature through this garden."
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch also attended the ceremony.
