Earth Hour

This year, OGPS will once again be participating in Earth Hour 🌱. Classes are required to turn off any electricity in their classrooms for one hour to raise awareness about energy consumption and climate change. By switching off lights, computers, and other electronic devices, we encourage students to think about their environmental impact and the small actions they can take to make a difference. 💡🔌

🌿 Wear It Wild! 🐾

his year, we also encourage students to Wear It Wild for Earth Hour Schools Day on Friday 21 March! 🎉

In the land of the koala, the quoll and the platypus, we have some of the most unique mammals on the planet - 86% can’t be found anywhere else. Sadly, Australia has the highest mammal extinction rate in the world, and these iconic species are at risk of disappearing forever. That's why Ocean Grove Primary School want you to join us as we Wear it Wild this Earth Hour on Friday March 21st.

Students can come dressed in wildlife-inspired outfits and bring a gold coin donation 🪙 or donate online to help regenerate nature. 🌳🌍
