Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Students dig in at Linwood College<br />
LINWOOD College students are<br />
digging in to help transform their<br />
school’s landscape.<br />
A naturalised area is being developed<br />
at the college as part of the $9<br />
million Bells Creek flood protection<br />
project.<br />
A dual-use stormwater basin and<br />
sports field is being built on the<br />
northern half of Edmonds Park.<br />
As a result, Bells Creek has been<br />
realigned through the college.<br />
More than 2000 plants will be<br />
introduced as part of the overall<br />
development.<br />
The college’s environmental group<br />
is working with students, a contractor<br />
and city council staff to plant up<br />
to 300 plants on the school grounds.<br />
“By involving students in the project,<br />
we aim to nurture their interest<br />
in the natural environment,” acting<br />
city council land drainage manager<br />
Tim Joyce said.<br />
“We hope that they can embrace<br />
the value of a flourishing environment<br />
that benefits the greater community,”<br />
he said.<br />
Said Helen Mora, Linwood College<br />
head of learning area, science:<br />
“This planting gives the group<br />
members their first hands-on opportunity<br />
to action one of their<br />
goals – to improve the plantings<br />
already on Bells Creek ready for<br />
when we come back on-site after the<br />
rebuild.”<br />
PLANTING: Linwood College year 11 student David Elia is helping to develop a natural environment on the school grounds as<br />
part of the Bells Creek flood protection project.<br />
