Waterford Working Bee: Students Giving Back to the Community
24.03.25
As part of our Waterford Service Learning Program, a dedicated group of ten students recently took part in a Working Bee at the Terrigal 50+ Leisure and Learning Centre. With an important community event approaching for them, our students volunteered their time to help clean and rejuvenate the centre’s gardens, ensuring the space was inviting and well-maintained for the many visitors who use it.

Throughout the day, students worked hard to weed garden beds, prune overgrown plants, clear pathways, and tidy outdoor areas, transforming the space into a more welcoming environment.

The Terrigal 50+ Leisure and Learning Centre is an important hub for members of our community, providing a space for social activities, learning opportunities, and wellbeing programs. By lending a helping hand, our students not only beautified the centre but also fostered a stronger connection between our College and the local community.

This experience highlighted the true spirit of the Waterford Service Learning Program—giving back, showing initiative, and making a positive impact. Through hands-on service, students develop an appreciation for the needs of others and the importance of active citizenship.

A huge congratulations to all students involved in the Working Bee for their hard work, teamwork, and commitment to serving others, and a thank you to Mr Summerhayes who also attended and provided much needed gardening equipment. Their efforts are a shining example of how small acts of service can create lasting benefits for the wider community.

We look forward to more opportunities for our students to engage in meaningful service projects throughout the year!
