The Green Team

This semester the Green Team has aimed to build awareness about the different bins placed around the School. We want the students to be able to use them properly. We aim to reduce landfill waste by educating the students about correct usage. We raised awareness by making a video to share this information with the Primary School.

Last term we celebrated National Bilby Day. We gave out bookmarks to colour in as an interactive way to inform students of this endangered native Australian species.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 has impacted on our ability to meet and get initiatives going. However, on a more positive note, it has had a beneficial impact on our environment through less air pollution, less litter and an opportunity for us to become more grateful for the beauties of nature.

Hopefully in the holidays we can engage in environmentally friendly activities. We can help to clean up our beaches, recycle, do the right things, appreciate our parks and walk instead of driving.

Next year we hope to make a bigger difference by coming up with exciting new initiatives for our School community.
