Mainland's Rose Bay Legacy Project is a project where everyone learns by sharing and working together. Opportunities are provided for students to participate in a wide range of activities.

  • Exceptional education students are building and installing picnic tables, signage, and kiosks. English and social study students have interviewed long-time local residents and are compiling a history of Rose Bay. TV production students are documenting activities with photos and video.

  • Childcare development students are planning for and cooking lunches to feed visiting groups as large as 140 people. Art students are sketching the native plants.
  • Science students use water-testing equipment to sample pollutants and oxygenation level. The data they gather each outing is added to the existing database. Later on, as the restoration project proceeds, samples will be compared with earlier findings to statistically document the change in water quality.  Math students are completing projects such as estimating tree heights and conducting water percolation tests. Drama students are writing and producing slots on environmental topics for elementary and middle school students who regularly visit the park.

  • Other students are creating slide show presentations on environmental topics and the project's history. All the students and teachers combine their talents to provide on-site instruction for elementary and middle school students. Student teams have made presentations at local government meetings and at Learn & Serve conferences.

Here is a sample of some student journals in which they have recorded some of their reflections about RoseBay.
