The American Oak
tree, as you step into the Primary School Yard at St. George's College North,
will meet and delight your eye. This tree was planted by pupils
of St. Georges College Quilmes on March 30th, 1990 as a Symbol of Vitality and
Strength and as a reminder of the Root from which our two Schools have grown.
The Brown Bear is one of the
most omnivorous animals
in the world and has been recorded as consuming the greatest variety of foods
of any bear. They often feed on a variety of plant life, including berries, grasses, flowers, acorns and pine cones as well as fungi such as mushrooms. Among all bears, brown bears are
uniquely equipped to dig for tough foods such as roots and shoots. They use their long, strong claws to dig out earth to
reach the roots and their powerful jaws to bite through them. They will also
commonly consume meat, which may regularly be in the form of insects, larvae and grubs, including beehives. The diet may be supplemented by rodents or similar smallish mammals, including marmots, squirrels, mice, rats, lemmings and voles.
A vole is a small rodent resembling a mouse but
with a stouter body, a shorter, hairy tail, a slightly rounder head, smaller
ears and eyes.
