Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth IIPrint Page Print this 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. 

Seaford Primary School received funding of $14,800 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant native trees, install a commemorative plaque and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will provide shade for students and attract and support native wildlife.

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.
 

Seaford Primary School was lucky enough to receive a grant from the Frankston City Council to purchase trees to be planted around our school oval in commemoration of the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Thank you Frankston Council, we were able to purchase 40 trees and an irrigation system to support them. Thank you also to Mrs Douglas for the effort that went into applying for the grant and for all the work done with the whole school being involved in the tree planting today. The weather turned it on for a fantastic community afternoon with families joining us as our grade 6 children planted the final trees, followed be the reveal of the commemorative plaque.
