Our school community takes on much of the maintenance of the school. A lot of this happens at our regular working bees.
These reduce the cost of the education for all, and, more importantly for many, working together is an energising and wonderful way of being in community. Sharing kai (food) together prepared by the kitchen team at the end of the work is a convivial and rewarding aspect of our working bees!
Traditionally working bees have been held on Saturday mornings, however this year, four of the working bee dates are on Sundays in consideration for those willing participants not able to make Saturdays.
Additionally, if you would like to participate in maintenance work outside of working bees, please contact maintenance.trss@gmail.com. There are always so many ways in which you will be able to participate in this valued aspect of school community life.
