Sustainability @ BPS

Thank you to those families who answered our call for FOGO Caddies. Thanks to a very generous donation from one of our Blackburn families, we now have a school set! Listen out for messages from our Sustainability Captains, Millie and Justin, and Patch Coordinator, Trinity, how we are going to use these caddies to make our school more sustainable. 

Recently, the Victoria Container Scheme made it possible to make money while recycling! If you are unfamiliar with the scheme, some containers are able to be recycled at specific locations and each container will earn you 10cents profit. Blackburn Primary School has registered as a donation partner. Which means we can earn money for our school from your rubbish. Please listen out for information from our Junior School Council and our Sustainability Captains how you can make this happen. If you are already familiar with the program, you can now donate directly to our school. When at the Container Deposit location, you can enter/scan our School Donation Number and we will, very gratefully, receive your donation. Thanking you in advance.
