Students from St George Christian School are taking part in a project to help breathe new life into a bushfire-ravaged area.
The school's year 9 geography students are taking part in REGROW Conjola, which is an initiative of Convoy of Hope Australia.
The aim is to help restore the Conjola area that was impacted by bushfires 18 months ago.
The project will see 34,000 tubestock distributed to schools for students to cultivate before they are transported back to Conjola for replanting.
The 78 students from the school's Hurstville campus participated in a hands-on workshop last week presented by Kevin Cassanego from REGROW Conjola.
They transplanted 300 tubestock into pots, which they will nurture for a month before they are collected and sent to Conjola.
Teacher Phillip Pain is co-ordinating the school's efforts.
"It is important for our youth to learn to look beyond themselves and see that their positive actions can have a huge impact on others," he said.
"The students' involvement in this project will improve [Conjola] residents' well-being by restoring gardens and community recreation spaces,"
He said the project tied in with the students' year 9 geography curriculum on changing urban environments.
Year 9 student Sophie Cox said: "Planting the greenery was a really cool project.
"It wasn't difficult and yet it will help a lot of people in the Lake Conjola area, especially as they have faced so much adversity."
