Science Department

We have been fortunate to receive a grant from the PA for two years now.  During the first year we used our budget to learn all about bees and the products we get from their hard work!  We made candles, cosmetics and beeswax wraps – all materials purchased with our PA funds.  We also took a fully funded trip to a local apiary where eight students were lucky enough to get up close to a working bee hive – an incredible experience for them all.

This year we have been focussed on our school environment and making it not only bee friendly but also a haven for all local wildlife.  We have purchased seeds and bulbs for the nature area and have just invested in some kits to make bee, bug, bat and bird boxes to place around the school site.  Without the funding from the PA we would not have been able to run these activities without asking for contributions from the students and their families.  The PA funding makes the club truly inclusive and also more engaging for its members. So thank you very much!
