Outdoor Learning at St Michael’s
The St Michael’s school grounds and environment are
perfect for our students to engage in a wide range of
outdoor learning.
The purpose built Outdoor Learning Space provides our
students with areas to perform, construct, plant, dig and
even get muddy in the mud pit! In 2020 the school worked
to further improve the section of the Hahndorf Creek
adjoining our property.
The students were involved in tree planting, wildlife
observation and water monitoring as they worked together
to restore the once decrepit stretch of creek line. Even our
school dog, Raz, got busy helping to clean out the creek.
It was wonderful to see eggs in our new nesting boxes and
be able to watch them using specially positioned video
cameras, as the chicks hatched and finally flew away.
We were excited to announce our successful grant
application from the Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board to
complete stage 2 of the restoration project in 2021.

Battunga, Moorak and Naturi for creating innovative and
fun fundraising activities to help further the cause of the
community pond (more like a dam), which we believe is now
a reality for the Samnang Prah Srei village.

AND SEE WHAT THEY'VE BEEN UP TO...

Henry Kidman (2019)
Straight after completing Year 12, I worked in Kangaroo Island after being approached by SA Tourism after the bushfires to
show how much of the island was still beautiful. They really liked the video and I have done quite a bit for them since.
I've recently stopped filiming weddings, as much as I enjoyed this process I wanted to venture into other fields and not be
locked into specific dates years in advance.
Previously I have been lucky to be able to travel around Australia. I was in Brisbane filming for W Hotels and I have been
on a road trip in collaboration with NT and WA Tourism, driving from Adelaide to Darwin then around the coast to Perth
then back to Adelaide. It's been amazing seeing everything there is to see along the way. This has been a really intense
experience, waking up at 4.30am for sunrise fliming then up and about until sunset. I then need to edit until 10.00pm. It’s
been cool having my work presented in front of pretty important people.
As for this year I really want to spend a lot of time doing purely my own thing, filming exactly what I want. Because as cool as
all of the experiences have been I don’t think I have found the exact field for me professionally.
