The Longford Primary Tree Club made history this week, celebrating their first birthday. This is unique and remarkable initiative led by an inspired, inclusive student leadership group. As far as we know, this is the first club of this kind in living (Longford Primary) history.

Tree Club formed last year when students perceived a school hedge at risk of removal. They protested the removal by gathering signatures on a petition and performing a play in assembly. Their efforts were successful, and Tree Club was born.

Yesterday they shared their dreams for the future of the earth (pictured below), encouraged one another, told jokes, ate party food and acted out Tree Club history in a dramatic role play game.

A huge congratulations to Phoebe, Frankie, Hazel, Olivia, Maddi and Bethany for their dedication to the club.
