Going Green

The SRC under the guidance of Mrs Sewell and Mrs Perceval is focussing on a “Going Green” campaign for our school. We are looking at ways we can reduce both our carbon footprint and how much rubbish we are sending to landfill.

As part of this initiative, we are working to improve how students recycle both in the classroom and in the playground. The school has organised buckets in classrooms for crunch and sip scraps, paper recycling boxes in all rooms and mixed recycling bins in the playground. When they have all arrived we will monitor how much we can reduce our waste by recycling what we can.

WE NEED YOU !!!

We are asking for donations of any unused worm farms or lidded compost bins for our food scraps. If you are able to help us in our recycling initiative, please contact the office so we can begin utilising our food scraps in an environmentally friendly way.

Skoolbag App

Our skoolbag App is nearly ready for parents to download onto their phones. I will put information in next week’s newsletter on how to download and use this tool. We are hoping that this app will improve communication as well as access to the school newsletter. Watch this space!!

Hats

Apologies to all those families waiting for their peak hat. Our supplier promised us delivery early last week but they still have not arrived. As soon as they arrive we will distribute them. Thanks for your understanding.

Have a great week!!
