Clean Up Australia Day

Last Friday the 28th February, our whole school participated in Clean Up Australia Day. The Clean Up Australia organisation encouraged everyone to get involved to make this the BIGGEST ever, as we celebrate 35 years of improving and conserving our environment, one piece of litter at a time! 

As the St Columba’s Eco Warriors, we have a big responsibility on our hands. Our mission statement is: as an environmentally friendly school organisation, we strive to make this small school with a big heart and our local community a better place. That’s why we believed it was important for our whole school to take action by putting on their gloves and donating their time to improve our school environment and our community of Elwood.

We cleaned up our playground, the canal area, Normanby Road, and even the beach! We couldn’t believe how much rubbish we found. It just goes to show that even a small school like ours can make a big difference in this world.
