St Michael’s Lutheran School is a co-educational primary school whose students have totally rejuvenated a neglected creek into a pristine waterway. The Hahndorf Creek runs directly behind the school and for decades, this portion of creek was inaccessible due to the prominence of blackberry bushes and excessive rubbish which makes its way down the waterway. The school saw this project as a way of rejuvenating a waterway, re-establishing native plants to the area, and creating an outdoor ’classroom’ for students to learn about the impact of change on an environment that was being neglected.
