Last term, Napoleon’s Primary School planted 20 mature trees, thanks to the generosity of Maree and Brian Harrison (Harrison Funerals).

Over many years, Napoleons Primary School have actively pursued and implemented an environmental awareness program, culminating in the planting of trees in our extensive school grounds. We were very fortunate to have been successful in our application for the Fifteen Trees project whereby we received 20 bare rooted trees. This was made possible by Brian and Maree Harrison from Harrisons funerals.
We were able to successfully obtain eleven Ornamental Pear trees and nine Crab Apple trees.
Most importantly the children from Foundation to Year 3 children, (some 59 students), played a major role in preparation and the planting of the trees in the school grounds. Two beautiful crab apple trees have been planted at the entrance of our school grounds and they will be truly a major feature, providing a brightly coloured and natural pathway to support our school value of pride in our school. We did focus on ensuring the legacy the children will leave by planting the trees and we are very aware of the importance of ensuring that young children engage and understand the important role trees play in our environment.
Thank you once again Brian and Maree for your financial support. We look forward to these trees growing and blossoming as they will be a major feature of our school and our environment. These trees will leave a lasting legacy and will undoubtedly provide a lot of joy for many Napoleons community members and future students!

Once again, thank you Maree and Brian. We are almost at 100 mature trees for 2016.

WPA acknowledges that when it comes to environmental initiatives, its people are its strength. It has recently partnered with us to plant 15 trees for each hard-working staff member identified as a Sustainability Warrior.
Tasman Cottage already gives you a chance to reconnect with nature, yet its manager Nick has taken an important next step. He recently purchased 150 trees in collaboration with us here at Fifteen Trees, an action which ensures vital habitat for our native fauna, such as the unique Tassie Devil.
‘We believe that supporting community tree-planting initiatives is not only an investment in nature; it’s a commitment to a sustainable future. JEI Studio is committed to ongoing donations of 15 planted trees for every design and decoration service agreement’. Jessi Deakin.
