Clean Up Australia Day!

A huge thank you to those families and teachers who volunteered their Sunday to help clean up our little slice of Australia. Thankfully the heat stayed away for the morning so we were able to collect a whopping 8 garbage bags full of waste from Braeside Park. I am certain that the students who attended not only enjoyed the fairy bread reward at the end, but also the idea that they can make a positive difference in the world around us. Congratulations to those who attended! Hopefully we get even more families joining us next year!

Students: Daniel (Prep B), Emily (Prep B), Abbie (Prep B), Ysaline (Prep B), Khushi (5/6S) and Jai  (2N)

Teachers: Linda Hawkless, Sarah Rohan and Alex Baxter

Nude Food Day

Every Tuesday is Nude Food Day! Our Nude Food Tuesdays were developed to encourage kids and parents to eat well, live well, and eliminate all unnecessary packaging and wrapping that comes into the school. Essentially, students bring their food – NUDE (without wrappers).  This reduces the amount of rubbish that goes into our bins, that goes into the ground, that pollutes our planet.  This is an amazingly simple concept that really empowers the children to create change!  Our ultimate goal is to be able to get rid of bins in the yard altogether!

Compartmentalised lunch boxes are perfect for Nude Food lunches! Below is a link to a recipe booklet created by Nude Food Australia. We hope you enjoy these recipes and they result in healthier, happier children and a happier and healthier environment!
