S1 – Wild Flower Garden

|
Thank you to all our first year pupils who braved the elements to help start work on the wild flower garden sponsored by Kew Garden at the old water works site in Barrhead. The pupils took part in a range of activities including litter picks, cutting up logs, planting Silver Birch trees and clearing weeds from the old sewage tanks. The pupils are working towards achieving their Discovery Level John Muir Award and will make further trips to the site before the end of the session. The pupils were a credit to the school and the local community.
