Sunday Telegraph Feature- WOOF!

Unfortunately WCS missed out on a grant that would have enabled to continued growth of the ARC and school. We had applied for a Commonwealth Government Grant to:

• secure the area from vandalism and theft
• build a shed (to extend the holding capacity of fish and enable temperature control of tanks) and a garage to securely house our bus
• a bus (small 22 seater) to reduce the costs associated with the weekly transport of students to events and excursions
• concrete floor for the shed
• additional water storage

Sunday Telegraph Photo Shoot

The Sunday Telegraph conducted a photo-shoot of the ARC and the school to enable a feature article to be published on NSW schools that missed out OR were lucky enough to gain commonwealth funding.
Thanks to Eden, Johnno, Amber, Smida, Justin, Josh, Georgia & Mr Bliim and their families.

AutoFeeders Powered

AutoFeeders were powered on today and the quantity released tested. Minor adjustments will be made to ensure that the correct quantity is released and that the timing of release ensures no wastage.

Ultraviolet Steriliser Fitted

Lance (the plumber ...nee Principal) fitted the Ultraviolet Steriliser to the re-circulation system. This now completes a PERFECT re-circulation system that produces bacteria, algae free- low ammonia/nitrate water perfect for fish farming. We are very proud of our community school's achievement.

Just another day... on the farm!

Worms loved the continued supply of scraps.

All Bass fed well. Significant evaporation- Tank 6 and sumped needed topping up from rainwater tank approx 200l. Backwashed main system.

It's All Good!
