Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth IIPrint Page

The trees commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and acknowledges her 70 years of service as Australia`s Head of State. 

The project received funding of $16,584 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant semi-mature trees, install a commemorative plaque and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will beautify the school precinct and provide shade for students.

Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime, and was head of state of 15 realms at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history. 
 

Dear Families,

It’s been another busy week at Brighton! This morning we held a Garden Party to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee and to thank the Federal Government for the $17 000 grant to plant and irrigate trees in our new playspace.  The children and staff  looked very royal in their hats, crowns and tiaras! Thanks to Mandy for making over 700  cute teacup biscuits, they were yummy! Over the past 15 months the hardworking Grounds committee have been busy working behind the scenes to create the green playspace for present and future students to enjoy. It’s not finished yet, we are patiently waiting for the play equipment to be installed. A big shout to Michael Bennett for leading this project and to all the other committee members who kindly volunteer their time.
