New garden at Woy Woy South

A new garden has been constructed at Woy Woy South Public School funded through a government grant designed to provide skills for unemployed people seeking work.

The garden features a new path in the form of a rainbow serpent.

"It is hoped that we will be able to include a mural related to the Rainbow Serpent Dreamtime story on the wall adjacent to the garden," said Woy Woy South Public School principal Mr Terry Greedy.

"With native and bush tucker plants throughout the garden, we hope to see the garden used as a teaching resource in the future.

"As the plants grow, I'm sure it will become a real focus of our school grounds," he said.

According to Mr Greedy, plans are currently being developed to enhance other areas of the school's playground with students taking a more active role in maintaining the school grounds.
