If you a member of the teams that train before or after school ; please be mindful of which bins you put your rubbish into. This is much appreciated as I had to spend time pulling soft drink cans and biscuit packets out of the garden waste bins before putting them out this week. 🤢
We would prefer that you also take your own rubbish home with you, rather than putting it in our bins, but hopefully this will come in time.
We understand many food items targeted for schools are pre-packaged.
We politely encourage our families to be mindful of these items and where practical remove from the packaging prior to school.
Our aim at Sacred Heart is create rubbish free lunchboxes (nude-food). You will note in the coming weeks children will be taking home their packaging to be recycled at home. In doing so, we are hopeful this reinforces our messaging and alternate options are explored, therefore reducing the packaging over time at our school.
We will endeavour to assist with those little containers coming home
If you label it, it will come home! We encourage families to please label these reusable containers as they can be misplaced from time to time.
