Boroondara Park Primary School
Keen Green Team News
The Keen Green Team has been busy helping to make Boroondara Park Primary School a greener, cleaner and more sustainable place for everyone. Here's what's happening around our school!
Nude Food Challenge
A big thank you to everyone who is helping to reduce waste by bringing nude food lunches to school. Every wrapper we avoid helps to reduce the amount of rubbish going to landfill.
When packing lunchboxes, try to use reusable containers instead of single-use packaging. Every small change makes a big difference!
Keep Our School Beautiful
Please remember to place your rubbish in the correct bins and help keep our playgrounds and learning spaces clean. If you notice a piece of litter, take a moment to pick it up—it only takes a few seconds and helps keep our school looking its best.
Lost Property is Overflowing!
Our Lost Property bins are filling up quickly!
Parents and carers, please help us by clearly labelling your child's uniform, lunch box and drink bottle with their name. Named items can be returned to their owners much more easily, while unnamed items often end up in Lost Property waiting to be claimed.
Thank you for helping us reunite lost belongings with their owners!
Guess Dumpling's Weight Competition!
Did you know our school has green soft plastics recycling bins? These bins are a fantastic way to recycle soft plastics that can't go into your household recycling bin. Unfortunately, they haven't been used as much as we'd like.
To help everyone learn more about soft plastics recycling, the Keen Green Team has created a fun new competition!
Guess Dumpling's Weight!
Meet Dumpling—our soft, squishy creation made entirely from recycled soft plastics and covered with a paper bag!
Every class will have the opportunity to:
- Hold Dumpling
- Guess how much Dumpling weighs
- And Submit one guess.
The class that guesses exactly, or comes closest to Dumpling's actual weight will win a special prize!
We can't wait to see which class has the best estimate. Good luck, everyone!
Thank you for supporting the Keen Green Team and helping make our school a cleaner, greener place to learn!
