Gardening at Pomona Kindergarten
POMONA & District Community Kindergarten was successful in its application for part of this year’s Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant. The grant is for reinvigorating the kindy’s vegetable garden and installing a
native beehive. The kindy children planted some seedlings in a new vertical garden, reusing old milk and juice jugs as planters. Soil and seedlings, including flowers like zinnia and vegetables like silverbeet were added. Native
Pandorea jasminoides cuttings are being propagated to plant along the kindy fence. The children enjoyed watching the seedlings and cuttings grow roots and are looking forward to seeing and tasting the results.
Students learn about the world of work
FROM becoming a police officer to joining the Australian Defence Force, students at Noosa District State High School have learned about the world of work from a variety of guest speakers. Pomona Police Station Sergeant Dan McNamara spoke to Year 11 Social and Community Studies students about his role in the police service, assisting the local community. Sgt McNamara said that
he was initially drawn to the excitement and drama of working for the police but has since realised there is so much more to the job than just police chases and catching “bad guys”. The students enjoyed inspecting Sgt McNamara’s baton and utility belt (minus the taser and gun) and breathalysing friends, while Sgt McNamara taught them the ‘spiel’ that police have to

perform prior to conducting a breath test, and how to best approach a car. Australian Defence Force (ADF) members informed students about the career pathways on offer through the ADF, along with the application process and the requirements of ADF personnel. And former NDSHS student Naomi Wilson shared her fascinating life, describing her occupations since leaving school.
