Sustainability @ BPS

Nude Food Week

In order to encourage Nude Food here at BPS, the Green Team - led by our Sustainability Captain, Justin - have organised a Nude Food Week. 

The class with the "nudest" lunchboxes in Week 4 (Monday 28th October-Friday 1st November) will be awarded our “Golden Lunchbox” award.

Our top 3 reasons that Nude Food is a better choice:

Our Earth: When you choose nude food, you cut down on packaging waste, which helps reduce the amount of plastic and other trash that ends up in landfills. 

Healthier Choices: Nude food usually means eating whole, unprocessed foods, which can be healthier than processed ones that have additives and preservatives. 

Freshness: Foods sold without packaging are often fresher because they haven’t been sitting on store shelves for a long time.

Recycling Bottles & Cans

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.
