We're half way through term 1 and would like to remind you about our Recycling Station near the front office. If you haven't had the chance to check it out, you may like to take a look and drop off any items to be recycled. The following items are ones that our school community can add to during the term:
Batteries (excluding button batteries)
Printer Cartridges
Mobile Phones
Small Electronic parts - no lightbulbs or LED lightbulbs
Masks
Bread Tags
Dental Care items - cut open, washed and clean
Used pens
Second Hand School Uniforms
Remember to use the online Sustainable School Shop to purchase any second hand uniforms. Most of the items listed by families are free or for a small fee. https://www.sustainableschoolshop.com.au/

Reuse and reduce landfill
Do you have any items you no longer need and too good to add to landfill? Try posting on your local social media groups to give your goods another life. Here are some you may like to consider before adding to landfill:
Boroondara Hard Rubbish Rehome
Zero Waste Freebies (Victoria)
You may also find items that you can take off someone else's hands and reuse yourself before buying brand new.
