Sustainability in Action
This week I would like to take a moment to remind our community of the recycling collections we do at our school. Also, help is always needed in bringing collections to Fyshwick (Lids4Kids), OfficeMax and Aldi (batteries) if you would like to assist with this process. We would greatly appreciate it!
We love when our school community contributes to our unusual recycling collection. This year you can bring in your old:
- Batteries - We will take them to Aldi for you!
- Oral Health Care - Old toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and floss sticks are accepted and sent to Terracycle.
- Writing Tools - We can have these recycled through Officeworks’ recycling program.
- Lids and bread clips - These are donated to Lids4Kids. We ask that you clean and dry your lids before you drop them off. This might include taking the foam insert out as well.
- Disposable face masks!
- Bread bags and tags of any brand can go inside the newly added Wonder boxes. We can earn points for our school and redeem them for sports equipment!
The Special Recycling Centre is located outside the staff room near the school entrance.

Also, packing lunches that consist of ‘nude food’ and unpackaged items is another way to make a big difference at our school. By buying food in bulk and placing it into reusable containers, you are eliminating mass amounts of waste for our school and planet! Using reusable drink bottles and ditching juice boxes/ poppers will keep our turtles happy and oceans free from plastic straws.
