Sustainable snapshot

School holiday activity: 

Family bus trip to CERES Environmental Park led by City of Casey’s Sustainability and Waste Education Teams. CERES is an Environmental Park in Brunswick located on the Merri Creek. There are market gardens, community gardens, playgrounds, a shop, nursery, bulk food co-op, and lots of educational opportunities. Learn all about Climate Change and Zero Waste as a family through two structured sessions with free time to also explore the Park.

This event is for adults and children to enjoy the space and learn more in a fun and immersive place (there’s even composting toilets there!). All children must have an accompanying adult. The bus will depart and return to Bunjil Place Narre Warren. Attendees can bring their own food and drinks, or purchase these on the day at the on-site cafe. COST: $10.00 per attendee (please contact council if the cost will be a barrier to you attending). Thursday 25 September, 8.30 am – 5.30 pm. 

This trip is for children 6 and up. The educational sessions are catered towards primary school aged children. All attendees need a ticket to attend.

The City of Casey has announced the Battery Blitz program is back. Hillsmeade is taking part again. You can help us win a party by bringing in old and unused batteries from home. 

Household batteries accepted: AAA, AA, C, D, 9V, 6V, andbutton cell sizes only.

Although the competition doesn't start until October we collect batteries all year so please start bringing them to school for our Marine Team to safely package and send off to be recycled. 

When batteries go into our kerbside bins, they cause fires, they need to go in specialist drop-off points. Our school can be your drop off point so we can safely send them to be recycled.
