The Memorial Garden was a project undertaken by the 2024 Year 12 Work Studies Class. 

The students involved in the project were Jackson Shoesmith, Blake Fishwick-Rosewarn and Alex Tobin. 

The first photo in the gallery below shows the garden before they started their work. 

The Students went about cleaning the area with a water pressure machine, rebuilding the garden walls, pulling out old tree stumps and roots, bringing in fresh soil, planting and mulching. 

The photo below shows the plants starting to grow and flower.  The red poppies flowered just in time, as it was the day before Remembrance Day. 

We are very proud of the amazing work put in by the students.  They were heavily involved in the planning and design of the garden as well as all the construction work.  They displayed great enthusiasm and were highly motivated from start to finish.  As they have now graduated from St Clare’s, we want to thank them for all their effort and energy in improving the school grounds.  We also wish them all the very best for a wonderful and exciting future.
