Clean Up Australia Day 

This year, VCAL students will once again be joining millions of Australians to #CleanUpAustralia.

St Joseph’s College will #StepUptoCleanUp on Friday 4 March 2022.

Did you know:

• face mask pollution jumped by 9000 percent globally during the last two years?
• a disposable face mask takes up to 450 years to break down?
• we should snip the rubber straps before we dispose of face masks as they typically end up in waterways and pose a risk to birds and marine life?

And if you are keen to do your part as a community member, why not join :
