Eco Bins

Our new Eco Bins have arrived.  Each classroom and school office has a new paper reuse tray.  We also purchased large Mixed Recycling (Red bin), Paper Recycling (Blue bin), Soft Plastic (Black bin) and Landfill bin (Red bin).  Look out for these around the school.  They are currently in the Art Room and STEM room and more will be allocated soon.  Thank-you to the Green Team for putting the bins together and distributing them to classrooms and offices around the school.

Smoothies

 The weather was not kind to us for our Fruit Smoothie fundraiser but it didn’t dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of the Green Team.  They all pitched in making smoothies, taking orders, counting money, washing and drying cups, running raffles and cleaning up.  A huge thank-you to all of the Green Team for donating milk and fruit to our stall.  Also a very big thank-you to Rebecca (Jessica’s mum) for making smoothies with the Year 5 and 6 students.  Thanks also to Mr Blyth and Ms Tran for all their help on the day and the use of their middle room between their classrooms.  Thank-you also to Nigel for the tables.

A massive thank-you to all students who bought a cup (or borrowed a cup) and bought a smoothie.  Thanks to you we raised $276.  The Green Team plan to donate $130 to the Amari Project and the remaining money will be used to purchase new buckets and tongs to clean up our yard.

Congratulations to Alex O (4JB), Nysa (3SK), Elodie (0KS) and Austin (0KH) who won the raffle.  Each student who purchased a smoothie went into the draw to win a handmade recycled sock creature.  Thank-you to Freya (4JB) who made the creations and ran the raffle.
