National Science Week 2024 – Save the Species Diorama

Thank you to all the students and parents for their diorama entries in this year’s National Science Week. The theme this year was, ‘Species Survival – More Than Just Sustainability’, which aimed to highlight the importance of science and innovation in ensuring the survival of different species in an ever-changing world.

Behind every amazing artistic creation (some even using real moss!) was thorough planning and research. Ideas ranged from drones monitoring parrots to wildlife bridges over roads – each focusing on the dangers the animal faced and how science could be utilised to assist these creatures.

I would like to thank everyone again for engaging with this year’s topic and hope that it leads to a lifetime of ecological awareness.

Mountain Highway Intersection Upgrade Update

Exciting Milestone Achieved on Boronia Intersection Upgrade!

We are excited to share some fantastic news about the Mountain Highway, Colchester Road, and Albert Avenue intersection upgrade in Boronia! We’re transforming the old roundabout into a signalized intersection with extra lanes and safer crossings for both pedestrians and cyclists.

Over the past two weeks, the project team worked around the clock to make huge strides during our scheduled nightworks by:

• Clearing the roundabout and traffic islands
• Laying crushed rock and temporary pavement
• Preparing the site for asphalting
• Removing a public light pole in preparation for new lighting infrastructure
• Filling in the round about in preparation for new interim traffic arrangements at the Alchester village intersection

Bild Group and the Department of Planning and Transport thank you for your support as we continue to bring these improvements to life.
