Sustainability at NPS 

Bring the penguins home! 

We can't go but they can come to your living room. 

Phillip Islands Nature Park is letting the little penguins into your lounge from Tuesday 25th of August. It is a free streaming event happening at sunset every night (AEST). The world's largest colony of Little Penguins waddle up Phillip Island's floodlit beaches to their homes. Since they aren't able to welcome visitors to enjoy this natural phenomenon in person at the moment, they decided to bring the penguins into homes across the world instead.

Recycling boxes at NPS

This is more a project for T4 but we are ready. Last week we set up a box to collect bread tags at Newlands. Our goal is high but we love a challenge! So remember if you have any bread tags at home, save them and bring them to Newlands on your next visit. 

We certainly don't want to stop here and are starting to plan a recycling station/area at Newlands. This is early stages and we are just on the process of planning and designing so we are on the hunt of an avid wood worker (good worker too) that is keen to create something similar to the boxes presented on the pictures bellow. 

The Sustainability captains will help assemble/decorate the box, label it and create a campaign to raise awareness and explain the items that we will be collecting. 

This is a project for T4 this year, so if you are able to spare your skills, time and knowledge in creating a box similar to the ones bellow, please contact the school via email with the subject Recycling boxes project - Att Jose.
