Canned Food Drive

Over term 2 and 3 Year 11 and 12 VPC students at KSC have been collecting canned food for our local Melton foodbank. Our VPC class is very pleased to announce that 42 kilograms of food was collected in total. 

We want to sincerely thank everyone in our school community who contributed food items to the collection, every single can makes a difference. 

Winter is a difficult time for many people in our local community. Thankyou for helping 

 Foodbank by making your donations.  Our VPC class has also benefited because we have measurement data about what was collected and will be using this to finish our work in numeracy next term.

Year 11/12 VPC School Clean Up

In week 8, 9, and 10 this term the year 11 and 12 VPC  PDS  and Numeracy students, along with their teachers organised a school clean up. The 11/12 VPC students set up a timetable so that each student success class at KSC was involved.

This event was registered with Clean Up Australia, who provided sturdy, safe, washable, reusable bags and gloves. Each student success class had their bags of rubbish weighed and recorded before placing it in bins. 

Congratulations to all staff and students who were involved. You did a terrific amount of work and together the  Student Success classes picked up a grand total of 52 kilograms of Rubbish and 4.5 Kg of recyclable plastic and aluminium drink containers.  What a success!

The data collected will be used in VPC classes next term and the Clean Up will be analysed to find out what changes can be made to include the clean up in VPC student work and ensure it becomes a regular event each term. 

Please  stay tuned for more information in future about how we can work together to keep our school rubbish free.

Anyone can register a Clean Up Australia event or donate, at any time of the year. For more information  you can go to their website: Home - Clean Up Australia
