Things to know
SUSTAINABILITY SUBCOMMITTEE
To quote Bob Dylan’s eternal wisdom, “The Times They Are A-Changin.”
As part of the School Council's core function, we recognise that the school values, vision and philosophy is ever evolving. It has therefore been agreed that a Sustainability subcommittee will be formed to support Ripponlea Primary's broad direction to become more environmentally aware, active and sustainable.
We are making a call out to parents and carers who want to help us champion this direction and start us on our journey to embed sustainability in everything our wonderful school does.
If you want to express interest in joining this subcommittee please contact Julie Pearce on juliepearcepitt@gmail.com
