Brisbane House Service Activities
Annual Tree Planting Service
Each year Brisbane house attend one of the restoration events run by the Friends of Mosman Park Bushland organisation and help them plant native bushes and trees in areas of bushland that have remained otherwise neglected since a fire devastated the vegetation about a decade ago. Brisbane has been involved with this initiative for several years and it has consistently been a great opportunity for students, families and teachers to make a positive difference to our local ecosystems with strong turnouts across all year groups.
Wheelchair Basketball
Brisbane house also participates in wheelchair basketball along with Anderson house. Rebound WA is a charity which supports access to sports for disabled Australians. In order to raise awareness for the important issue of disability within our society Brisbane and Anderson run a fundraiser and subsequently the students participate in an annual wheelchair basketball match. This event shows them how much everyday actions which they may take for granted, such as playing sport, are made so much more difficult for people suffering from a disability.
