Clean Up Australia Day

On Monday the 4th of March, our school participated in a Clean Up Australia Day activity. After the whole school picked up rubbish for 15mins, we had a look at what rubbish was collected. 

Here are the results:

We are proud of how much rubbish we collected as a school on Monday, however, it shows that students in our school should consider not taking wrappers outside or use the bins provided.
