Climate Canons

The week of the 9th–13th November was a big week for the Climate Canons to say the least! The Climate Canons supported National Pollinator Week, National Recycling Week, NAIDOC Week, ran a raffle to win a family pass to Perth Zoo and hosted an art competition called Trash to Treasure, Bin to Beauty Art Competition. We had students running an information stall Tuesday to Friday providing students with facts about recycling, bees and Indigenous sustainability. Our awesome members dressed as bees and provided information to their peers about the importance of pollinator species. It was an informative and fun week had by all.

Our art competition produced some spectacular pieces. Coming in at first place was Katriel Rivadenera with her amazing octopus. A close second and third place went to Franchesca Varilla for her creative bee and Sophie Eaton for her beautiful sunflower. An honourable mention went to Ms Rainford for her innovative Christmas tree. Thank you to all those who were involved. Prizes will be awarded at our final College assembly.
