Our Ecological Footprint Gleeson College, Golden Grove, recognises the ever-increasing importance of improving its ecological footprint. As a community, in conjunction with local businesses, an Urban Forest Development was implemented in 2008. Students have since planted over 500 trees, which will offset the College’s carbon dioxide emissions, recover landscape and nurture biodiversity. Around the College we have also had over 800 native plants planted by State Flora. Gleeson has also adopted various other water and electricity initiatives, including recycling boxes in classrooms and the option of electronic issues of the College newsletter, as the school works toward being carbon neutral.   Announcements: 2010 PRINCIPAL'S INFORMATION SESSIONS TUESDAY 18TH MAY 2010 9.30am - 10.30am (*Mini Tours of the College will be available for the above morning session only) TUESDAY 18TH MAY 2010 7.00pm - 8.00pm WEDNESDAY 26TH MAY 2010 7.00pm - 8.00pm Discover what Gleeson College has to offer your child in their academic, personal and spiritual development.
