CHPS Sustainability Team Update

A newly formed Sustainability Team has commenced work in a number of areas to improve the Sustainability practices at Clifton Hill Primary School including:

•          Introduction of a Rubbish-Free Lunchbox Challenge, encouraging students to bring rubbish-free  lunches to school whenever possible

•          Review of the canteen’s menu to look at ways to reduce waste produced

•          Review of the efficiency of School’s solar panels

•          Introduction of a compost bin, whereby each classroom will be able to compost fruit and

            vegetable waste and this will then be used on gardens around the school

•          A student Green Team initiative has been re-commenced, comprising of volunteer students who     undertake various gardening activities around the school, such as weeding and planting every                  Monday lunch time

•          The purchase of new planter boxes to establish student-run garden beds

The team will continue to investigate ways to improve our school’s sustainability practices.
