In a significant advancement for Somerset College's sustainability journey, the Sustainable Spartans have been awarded a generous grant of $15,750 by the Gold Coast City Council. This grant serves as a vital catalyst for the ongoing Wyangan Creek Restoration Project, affirming the council's confidence in our commitment to environmental stewardship.
Our 2024 Ambassadors, Evie Cardone, Evie Ladbrook, Eva-Marie, and Eunice Wilcox, alongside the Sustainable Spartans and the broader school community, will play an integral role in the fruition of the project. Thanks to the grant, the preliminary works commenced last year will continue, with the first Tree Planting Day earmarked for later this term. This will see the collective effort of students, our grounds team, and external partners Regen, who will be pivotal in finalising the project works.
This financial support enables us not only to enhance the ecological value of the Wyangan Creek area but also to provide an educative platform for our students to engage firsthand with meaningful sustainability practices. We anticipate this grant-funded project to stand as a testament to what collaborative effort and community spirit can achieve in fostering a greener future.
Stay tuned for updates as we prepare to roll up our sleeves and make a lasting positive impact on both our school's landscape and the environmental consciousness of our students.
