Green Wall

Green Wall The ‘green wall’ in the SMC Sixth Form common room has been given some TLC. The last 2 rows of the wall will be entrusted to our Gardening Break Club. They will be experimenting with different plants to see which grow best there. We look forward to seeing their green fingers at work.
