Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Thanks to the Harvey and Holder families for taking such great care of our school chickens over the last few weekends. We hope you got lots of eggs and baked lots of delicious goodies with them, yum! 

Weekend Chicken Duty Roster

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who have offered to do weekend chicken duty during term 3. The roster is now full right up until the September school holidays. We’ll put a call out for school holiday volunteers towards the end of term.

Egg Lotto 

For your chance to win 1 dozen eggs just buy an egg lotto ticket. Tickets are only $1 each! 

The next Egg Lotto draw will be Monday 19th August.

We usually sell tickets in front of the school on Wednesday afternoons from 3:10-3:20pm, selling tickets to students, parents, grandparents and carers. If not, tickets are available to buy at any time, just bring your money into school and the Environment Leaders will help you out.

All the money we make is put back into buying food and other necessities for our chickens. There will be a few dozen eggs available to win so get your winning $1 raffle ticket soon!

Soft Plastic Reduction Initiative

Each day the Future Leaders are keeping a tally of how many wrapper free lunch boxes are in their classrooms. At the end of every 2 weeks we work out which classes have the highest percentages of wrapper free lunch boxes and the winners will be announced at assembly. The two winning classes will receive one of the Environment Mascots to keep in their room for 2 weeks and they will also receive 15 class Dojos

 The winners for weeks 1-3 are .......................... Prep and 5/6B

The Prep class had an amazing percentage of 50% wrapper free lunch boxes over the three week period! 5/6B had 26% with two other classes right behind on 25%, so close! Keep up the great work everyone, just do your best and remember that every day is a new day.

Did you Know?…

According to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), 300 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year, and not all of it is recycled. To put that into perspective, that’s equivalent to the weight of the entire human population.

Thanks for your support,
