The P&C are interested to learn more about what our community values in the school's eco learning garden and outdoor environment in general.
This will help us P&C plan for 2026 and beyond, so we can support the school with resources and programs valued by the whole school community, including students, teachers, parents and carers.
Please complete the quick survey here.

Do you want to get your hands dirty in the school’s eco garden. Would you like to link up with other Ferncourt parents and carers who have a green bent?
Rather than having regular meetings, we tend to call working bees when there is something to be done, or when there is something interesting happening. So check out our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/169732786906226/
We are lucky in being able to draw on a wide set of skills in the school community - let us know if you are handy with tools or have any trade qualifications. Grant writers, designers and environmentally knowledgable people, Or anyone who just wants to get involved. We are also keen to support people doing their own thing in their own time.
But there’s a lot more to do, and we would welcome your involvement – at any level. We’d also love to hear any ideas you might have. So please send an email to Janine via ohjanineo@gmail.com.
