Working bees are regularly held at both campuses with the aim of maintaining and developing the school grounds and facilities. For new parents, they are also a great way to meet other parents while meeting your Family Involvement Program commitment. There is no need to register prior to the working bee.
Working bees are held on Saturdays from 8.30am to 3.30pm.
Hours are credited as part of the Family Involvement Program
Parents are able to attend working bees held at either our Yirramboi (Keilor) or Canowindra (Taylors Lakes) campuses (or both). It is preferred that parents stay for the duration of the working bee however if this is not possible hours will be credited for actual hours worked. Time of arrival and time of departure plus mobile number and signature must be recorded on the sign-in sheet.

WHAT DO WE DO?
General weeding, paving, lawn mowing and edge trimming, sweeping of pathways, window cleaning, classroom cleaning, general rubbish pick-up and bin cleaning, painting and line marking.
WHAT DO I NEED?
Suitable clothes and sun protection for the prevailing weather conditions, as most work is done outdoors. Sturdy shoes (no sandals or thongs) are also necessary.
Bring gloves for gardening, paving and / or painting. If you have a flair for pruning, pack your favourite garden shears and discuss what area needs attention with a Coordinator.
MORNING TEA AND LUNCH
Please bring your own water bottle, snacks and lunch if staying for the day.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
We don't expect you to work in the rain, but there are many jobs that can be done indoors / undercover until it clears. The working bee will still go ahead.
IF YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR SKILL OR TALENT
Let a coordinator know so that we can make the most of your valuable time (eg. garden design, painting, paving, carpentry, welding).
