Green Ribbon Month


Herbal Teas - Tranquilitea


Olivia has set up a trolley in the canteen with a range of herbal teas.  Please try out a tea!
Some of the teas available are:

Chamomile:  one of the most consumed teas in the world behind regular black tea. Chamomile flowers have a naturally sweet taste with a hint of an apple flavor that reduces stress because it has soothing and sedative properties.
Peppermint:  peppermint tea relieves the symptoms of abdominal gas and bloating.
Rooibos:  Known to help common skin concerns such as eczema, it is high in vitamin C as well as other minerals, rooibos has many health benefits.
Raspberry Leaf: It is highly nutritious and especially beneficial for women as it helps balance hormones and is good for the skin.
Ginger:  great digestive aid, ginger can be used to curb nausea, vomiting or upset stomach due to motion sickness.
Milk Thistle and Dandelion:  both teas are gentle liver cleansers.
Rosehip:   comes from the fruit of the rose plant and is one of the best plant sources of vitamin C.
Cranberry:  excellent to drink down to help treat urinary tract infections because of the anti-bacterial properties in it that help cleanse the urinary tract from any harmful germs.
Lemon Balm:  lemon balm is good at lifting your spirits, helps with concentration, and prevents nightmares in children when consumed before bedtime!
Echinacea:  boosts the immune system which helps ward off illnesses such as flus and colds.

Anti-Littering Mural Final Piece



What is our mural about?
Our mural is made up of two images.
A large bin and a bird.
The bin is to represent the message of
keeping our centre clean and binning
our litter.
The bird painting is filled with images from
Doorly Park and it symbolizes our green environment.
Within the image of the bird we can see
trees, clean water, blues skies, animals, birds and insects.
