Autumn Market and Open Day are focal points in our school year – Seed organizes and facilitates these festive days which strengthen our School Community.
And then there are the tiny seeds of goodwill that Seed Group spread around our school – in everyday conversations – via activities like cooking, or a musical evening, a bush dance, a picnic…

-As a “supportive worker” for an activity/event – preparatory work, set up/take down, contributing on the day in a specific way.
