Working Bee's

One of the more well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. At Box Hill North, our working bees are frequently attended with members of our community from all ages helping make a difference. We take great pride in our grounds and facilities with a constant desire to continually improve the overall learning experience for our students. Some recent additions as a direct result of community involvement from working bees includes the building of our pizza oven, chicken coop, edible playground and orchard. There are many ways to be involved and contribute for the benefit of our students.
