Sustainability 

At St James we are working towards reducing our impact on the environment. One way we have been doing this is by becoming Nude Food Movers!!

Rubbish Free

The benefits of packing a rubbish free lunch are wide-ranging:

• Reducing your environmental footprint
• Teaching children about the need to reduce, re-use and recycle
• Having fun creating delicious lunches and snacks
• Looking after your health
• Promoting rubbish free days in school
• Providing mums with an easy lunch packing solution.

ResourceSmart Schools

This year St James is beginning the journey of becoming a ResourceSmart School. With all the amazing work that has been happening in the Heritage garden over the past 18 months, we believe it is the perfect time to build upon what we have created with the support of the ResourceSmart School Program. 

Below is the link to the website if you would like to know a little bit more about the program

At the end of last Term the year 5 students took part in a Biodiversity audit of our school. 

The students loved exploring the different plants, animals and microorganisms that are in our environment at St James.
