2T’s Wrapper Free!

A reminder about wrapper free lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Wrapper free lunches are good because:

1. They encourage healthy eating.
2. If everyone had a wrapper free lunch, the school yard would be a lot cleaner.
3. Less rubbish in the school yard means less rubbish in storm water drains and less rubbish in oceans.
4. You can compost food scraps making nutrient rich soil.

There are lots of reasons to have wrapper free lunches, some children are already enjoying wrapper free lunches. We would love it if children could have wrapper free lunches every day, but we are specifically encouraging wrapper free days on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Let’s reduce our waste together at EHPS!

Schools Clean Up Day (SCUD)

Earlier this term on Friday 28 February, our school participated in the national Schools Clean Up Day (SCUD) , which helps to promote the Clean Up Australia day event which has been running for over 20 years! 

Each class was given a chart to record all the various types of rubbish they collected, such as:

• chip packets
• loose papers
• band aids
• Glad Wrap
• Quelch stick wrappers
• juice boxes; and 
• lunch order bags

Take care,
