Sustainability 

Walk or Wheel Wednesday

Last week we kicked off the school term by beginning Walk or Wheel Wednesday, which is an initiative run by Boroondara Council. Every Wednesday of Term 2 we are encouraging students to either walk, ride or scoot to school to help reduce your carbon footprint.

If you live too far away from school, you might like to look into catching public transport on Wednesdays or even getting dropped off a few streets from school and walking the rest of the way. 

Every Wednesday you come to school, make sure you tick off your name for that week and we will be seeing which class has the most amount of students who participated in WWW. 

Happy travelling! 

Introducing our Green Team 2023! 

Throughout this term, we will be introducing our 2023 Green Team representative from Year 3-6. These students have already made a positive impact on our school this year by leading the way and encouraging their classmates and teachers to live more sustainability. 

They have kicked off the year by participating in Clean Up Australia Day, ensure our waste across the school is managed every Friday, set up Walk or Wheel Wednesday and delivering speeches at our Friday assembly. 

We’re really looking forward to seeing what else our Green Team do to help our school adapt more sustainable practices this year. 

Firstly, we welcome…

FREE parsley!

If you would like some parsley from our garden at Solway, please help yourself to some at the planter box outside of the prep classroom. The more that is picked, the more that will grow!
