Habitat Farmer Scarecrow Showcases Student Creativity and Sustainability
Our Middle School Sustainability Club has brought learning to life with their “Habitat Farmer” scarecrow, created for the Melbourne International Flower Show.
Inspired by the endangered Orange-bellied Parrot, students designed and built their scarecrow using collected sustainable materials, highlighting the vital role this remarkable species plays in maintaining a healthy ecosystem through pollination, seed dispersal and pest control.
A fantastic example of student voice, creativity and environmental stewardship in action.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
