Sustainability

Nude Food” Week

In the last week of Term 3, we launched our next Sustainability module of “Waste Management”.

We have been blessed with the help of some students from Deakin University, under the guidance of one of our parents, Liz Weldon.

Our school now has 4 main ways of disposing of waste:

• Yellow paper bins (which are now “Co-mingle” and can include cans and PET bottles)
• “Soft plastic” recycling bags in each classroom
• Compost buckets in each classroom
• Red rubbish bins which are much smaller and will hopefully be needed less!

The classes were excited to take on the challenge of “Nude Food” and bring no rubbish to school for the final week of Term 3.

Each class took a tally, each day and the class with the least rubbish at the end of the week, won a prize of pizzas for lunch and ice cream cones.

Congratulations to Year 9G who won (and enjoyed their pizza and icecream earlier this term)!

Year 3M and Year 6L were a very close 2nd and 3rd place, so they were also rewarded with an ice cream party.

Keep up the great work everyone!
