Tomorrow's Leaders in Sustainability 

On Thursday 19th October, twenty-five Year Five students began the 'Tomorrow's Leaders in Sustainability' program. It is a seven week program run by the Port Phillip Eco Centre in St Kilda. Each Thursday the program co-ordinator, Alex, comes in to work with the students on the environment and sustainability. The program culminates with a student driven project. We look forward to having some of the students involved updating you on what has been happening in our next newsletter. 

Community Compost Fridays

Every day each class puts their fruit and vegetable scraps into our school compost bins and worm farms.  We would like to create more compost for our veggie patch by inviting our school community to join in.

If you don’t compost at home, our Year 4 students would love to take your fruit and vegetable scraps and turn it into compost.

When and Where:

We will trial the composting every Friday 8.45-9.00am for the remainder of Term 3. Compost can be dropped off next to the veggie garden at the Ferguson Street entrance.

Please bring your scraps in a reusable container/bucket that you can take back home. 

We accept:

• Fruit and vegetable scraps
• Tea bags and coffee grounds
• Egg shells

We do not accept:

• Meat, seafood and dairy (including bones)
• Fats and oils
• Bread, rice and pasta
• Plastics (including rubber bands, bread tags & fruit stickers)
• Dog and cat poo

Thank you for your support by helping to divert fruit and vegetable scraps from land fill and “closing the loop”.
