STUDENTS OF THE Blackman and Gollop Primary School today went the full nine yards with their World Environmental Day celebrations.
Excited pupils from Classes One to Four at the Staple Grove, Christ Church School dedicated their efforts towards tree planting, touring the old Staple Grove plantation and showcasing their operational solar ovens and mini greenhouses.
