A PRIVATE school in the Lachlan shire is set to be much greener and shadier when they plant a dozen new trees on their campus in acknowledgement of the legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The OneSchool Global Condobolin campus was one of countless community organisations across Australia to receive funding from a federal government grant linked to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, which is being celebrated this year.

The grant program was announced earlier this year, with community groups and schools across the country encouraged to submit Expressions of Interest to be a part of it, followed by an official grant application of they were deemed suitable.

Each federal electorate was allocated an amount of money to distribute, with a total of seven projects chosen in Parkes to receive funding. Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said the program was a great way to commemorate The Queen's own history of tree planting.

"Throughout her 70-year reign, The Queen is said to have planted 1500 trees at community events and ceremonies as a long-lasting reminder of the special occasion for the people in those communities,” Mr Coulton said.

“This program is a way of honouring that legacy, while benefitting the environment and increasing the area of tree canopy in our local communities.

“We’ve just witnessed celebrations take place across the UK and the Commonwealth in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, and now community groups in the Parkes electorate will be able to play a part in the festivities."

OneSchool Global Condobolin was one of the successful applicants, receiving $4500 which Principal Dr David McGregor said will be used to plant around 12 medium-sized established trees, including the Chinese Elm.

“These trees are quick-growing and hardy for our local environment,” Dr McGregor said.

“They will provide two shaded outdoor learning areas for Primary and Secondary students, and a plaque will be placed in both spaces as a permanent reminder of The Queen’s Jubilee.

“Staff and students, with the help of local gardening contractors, will be involved in the planting of these trees.”

According to Mr Coulton's office, the other tree-planting projects located in Parkes will receive grants ranging from $2500 to $20,000.

The App understands at least one of these was also located in the Western Plains and would receive one of the largest grant allocations, with an official announcement expected in the near future.
