SCHOOLS<br />
West Melton pupils show<br />
the future of gardening<br />
A FUTURE-themed<br />
garden designed by West<br />
Melton School pupils has<br />
won a top award.<br />
The school received a<br />
gold award at the recent<br />
Oderings School Gardens<br />
Show.<br />
The garden’s theme was<br />
around having the power<br />
to drive a future journey<br />
and the choice between<br />
wishing for a sustainable,<br />
colourful and bountiful<br />
future, or one where living<br />
things struggle to survive<br />
alongside man-made junk<br />
discarded by humans.<br />
In the middle of the garden<br />
was an old well found<br />
beneath the school during<br />
recent renovations.<br />
Promotions and marketing<br />
officer Rita Spadoni<br />
said the wishing well in<br />
the garden represents<br />
the past and also allows<br />
people to make their own<br />
private wishes for the<br />
future.<br />
She said pupils were excited<br />
to depict a contrasting<br />
image of the future.<br />
Principal Sue Jackson<br />
said she was impressed<br />
SUCCESS: West Melton School received a gold<br />
award at the Oderings garden show display.<br />
with the creativity and<br />
collaboration that had<br />
gone into preparing the<br />
garden.<br />
She said the importance<br />
the school attaches to the<br />
environment and how it<br />
ensures its pupils drive<br />
their own learning is evident<br />
in the display.<br />
“It was another awesome<br />
and outstanding<br />
success for our school,<br />
ultimately involving every<br />
learner and staff member<br />
in one way or another”.<br />
