Each year approximately 30 students in Year 6 belong to the Grounds and Environment Committee. Their role is to organise activities and fund-raising to support environmental projects at Avalon Public School.

The Vegetable Garden
Various classes use a section of the garden to grow vegetables, which they use for cooking activities.

Tree Day
Each year we celebrate Tree Day over a period of 2 weeks. During lunch times, each class is involved in planting native trees and other plants in the school grounds. We also participate in learning activities to increase awareness of the importance of native flora.

Schools Clean up Australia Day
Every year Avalon School takes part in Schools Clean up Australia Day. Each grade cleans a section of the school grounds.
