More than 140 pupils participated in planting the thousands of trees, which form part of the company's Biodiversity Action Plan.
The smelter has partnered with the school for the past four years and has planted more than 20,000 trees to date.
Swamp paperbark, Australian blackwood, black peppermint, white gum, black Sheoak, silver banksia and silver wattle were among the varieties planted most recently.
"Our annual tree planting project is a great initiative to get students involved in helping the environment," Bell Bay Aluminium general manager Ray Mostogl said.
"The students learn about threatened plant ecosystems as well as proper planting practice.
"Every tree that the students plant this week will have a positive impact on the future of our planet and help to preserve the current environment in the Tamar Valley region."
