DAY 3 - Groundz Care

Today was the hottest day of the program. The team have become a well drilled band of gardeners.  With regular rotations due to the heat the Groundz Care team managed three properties in Lalor Park blitzing them. It was like a scene from the Chelsea Garden show!!  Groundz Care team have been an absolute blessing!

DAY 2 - Groundz Care

The temperature was rising but the Groundz Care team were up for the challenge. Two properties to “make over” again, this time both were in Lalor Park. At the first property the team initially could not even get to the back. After sometime the front and back looked sharp and there was even an open pathway to the backyard! The second property needed a tidy and attention to the lawn.  The team did not disappoint.

DAY 1 - Groundz Care

A team of 14 students headed out of the College for the day. They visited two properties in the Seven Hills area.  Both properties needed much attention and the team didn’t waste any time in transforming both properties so they looked like they were ready for an open home.

Day 2 - Mountains Makeover

Today the Mountains Makeover crew worked very hard to clear overgrown ivy mixed with fallen logs and branches. One day’s work = one full skip! What a team!

DAY 3 - Garden Gnomes

They’re almost finished. The garden looks amazing, trees stand tall and the rich soil emphasises the beauty of the garden. Plants are being planted carefully on the hill whilst several Garden Gnomes gently water them. This has been an awesome team of people who have worked tirelessly at gardening.

DAY 3 - Colours for Carramar

They’re back at it. Colours for Carramar are endlessly packing and sorting out stationery for the children in Carramar. But what are they going to do without any paper to draw on? Well, Sketchin’ is also helping by providing colouring books for people in Carramar. Colours for Carramar have shown that they are a team of people who don’t mind sorting out and ordering stationery in a relaxed environment.

DAY 3 - Incandescence

It’s decorating time! The group is making their fragranced candles pretty by adding colored paper and accessories. They have created so many candles, but they’re not finished just yet! The students in this service activity have had such a good time making the candles. You will know if they work in incandescence because they smell like cinnamon! Service week has been a great experience for Incandescence.  Today is finishing up day.  Everyone’s wrapping up and they’re almost done.

DAY 3 - Toy Story

This group has finished and is packing up the few boxes left. The students in this group have done a splendid job packing, arranging, sorting and cleaning their way through the tasks they were assigned over the past three days. Toy Story team has helped the Mobile Toy Library with a bus load of toys.

DAY 3 - Cookies for Kairos

Today is the last day for the gang from Cooking for Kairos. That means no baking today! It is a time for cleaning and scrubbing all the equipment they used. They have done a really good job making cookies and biscuits for Kairos. For three days they have been purely dedicated to this activity and have given it their all.

DAY 3 - Backyard Blitz

The question from this off-site team is ‘Can it be done?’ The challenge is on: they have to move13 cubic metres of mulch in a two hours time limit. This is no ordinary feat but the Backyard Blitz team is not an ordinary team – their motto – ‘It can be done!’
