Keen to leaf a legacy

Belgrave Heights Christian School didn’t just leaf it to chance on Wednesday, 10 September, students, staff, parents, and MP Aaron Violi got their hands dirty for the 15th annual Keen on Green day, planting 1400 native trees.

The event celebrated the school’s commitment to environmental stewardship and has seen over 15,000 plants added to the grounds since its inception.

Principal Peter Cliffe said the day instils responsibility and hope in students, while James Mathews called it a “living classroom.”

Year 6 captain Eleanor Bird said, “We value trees and the life they bring.”
