Sustainability

Our school is excited to announce that we are participating in the Great Biosecurity Quest Citizen Science Trapping Program! This hands-on initiative allows our students to help protect Australia’s environment by monitoring local insect activity and learning how early detection supports national biosecurity efforts.

This year as part of the Great Biosecurity Quest, we are asking people to keep an eye out for tomato potato psyllid (TPP) and other biosecurity pests.

TPP is a small insect that feeds on solanaceous hosts such as tomato, potato, eggplant, chili and capsicum, and was detected in Victoria for the first time in November 2024 on the Bellarine Peninsula. This was the first detection in Australia outside Western Australia.  Agriculture Victoria is undertaking surveillance to determine if TPP is present in other areas.

We’re proud to be part of a program that builds environmental awareness, encourages curiosity and empowers young people to make a meaningful impact.

Victorian Container Deposit Scheme

We are excited to share that our school has joined the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme!  This program encourages everyone to recycle eligible drink containers by collecting and returning them for a 10 cent refund.  Not only does this help to reduce waste and protect our environment, but funds raised will support future student projects and initiatives.

When you return your containers, you can support our school by using our donation ID (C2000069498) or by searching for our school name.
