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. . 

Somerville Secondary College received funding of $15,000 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant mature trees on school grounds, install a commemorative plaque and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will beautify the local environment and enhance the tree canopy.

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.
 

Our 'Queen`s Canopy' Launch was held on Monday afternoon with guest MP Zoe MCKenzie officiating by turning the soil and unveiling a commemorative plaque.  Our grant for this project will see many beautiful flowering trees of different colours, heights and shapes contour around the buildings. The planning and selection was entirely student driven. Well done to our students for having a say in their future environment.
