Environment Club – Replanting, Requests and Recycling

Rejuvenating our school environment

The Environment Club has been hard at work revegetating an area of the school to encourage our local flora and fauna, and hopefully, help mitigate the effects of climate change. We have planted several Indigenous trees, bushes and grasses and will be working on this new area weekly to ensure our school is more green and beautiful than ever!

Can you help the Environment Club?

We are excited to be expanding our environment club’s gardening program, creating a hands-on experience that fosters curiosity among our students. However, we need your help!

Do you have old gardening equipment lying around your garage or shed? Shovels, wheelbarrows, or any other tools that could be put to good use? We kindly request that you consider donating them to EDSC.

If you have something you would like to donate, please email Nicola Ritchie at Nicola.Ritchie@education.vic.gov.au

Thank you for your kindness and support. Please note we do not require pots, or plants of any variety at this time.

Stationery Recycling

We set up recycling boxes for pens, empty whiteout containers and markers (in The JLC, 400 open area, and Library) It would be appreciated if you drop them in those boxes when they are finished. The more kilos of pens we save from landfill, the more money we can win to improve our school environment. In addition, please drop any batteries, bottlecaps, and bread tags you have used at school or at home, at the Library instead of the general rubbish.
