The Year 11 Outdoor and Environmental Studies class had the pleasure of spending the morning with the President of community group Friends of Steele Creek, Peter Hoyne (Old Collegian, 1966).

Peter explained the history of the area and how it has changed over time, as well as what the group does in advocating for the local environment. Students were challenged to think about how their actions have an impact on the ecosystems around them. Students were also able to see the results of tree planting by former students in the Steele Creek Reserve, a part of the revegetation effort led by Friends of Steele Creek.
