A GROUP of Clonard College students have teamed up with a local tradie to give Lisieux Catholic Primary School in Torquay a backyard blitz.<\/p>\n

From a two storey cubby house converted into an elaborate chook pen, colourful school house bollards with Wathaurong bird names, to vertical vegetable gardens and a freshly painted rotunda, Clonard teacher Sarah Clark said it had been a fantastic experience for the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) students<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to develop our community partnerships and increase our student\u2019s employability skills, Lisieux is a new school that\u2019s developing so we thought it was a great opportunity to get involved whilst supporting our catholic identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Clark said Mark Gabell and Associates (local Torquay landscape contractors and gardeners) had donated their time this week as well as Bunnings and Tyrepower.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe girls came out and met with the school principal Susan Ryan and got a brief on what she wanted to see happen to develop some learning spaces around the school. The girls then worked on the plans for about a term.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has exposed them to a whole other career path, a lot are doing childcare, hairdressing and beauty or community services, those sorts of things; they\u2019ve really enjoyed it and it\u2019s really out of their comfort zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lisieux principal Dr Ryan said they were contacted by Clonard who said they ran the program every year (normally at a residential property) and wanted to help the new school instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe girls had to visit our site, make suggestions, do all the collaboration and then measuring planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have collaborated with us and then planned and designed several projects to enhance our outdoor learning space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Gabell said the landscaping firm had worked at schools before but never with students and his staff all enjoyed the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a local business and wanted to help out, it\u2019s been good and something we\u2019d probably do again.\u201d<\/p>\n
