Waste Free (NUDE) Lunches Students are encouraged to bring a completely waste free lunch. Students who do so are rewarded with a faction point. We strongly encourage parents to do away with plastic wrap and find sustainable ways of wrapping school lunches. Solar Panels & Rain Water Tank Teaching children the value of our fossil fuels and preservation of water as a precious and dwindling resource is achieved by using solar panels and our rain water tank. Composting Students from Kindy to Year 6 are taught how to separate their waste. Leftover fruit and vegetable matter go through a series of stages to end up as compost. Recycling All waste is separated at the school into paper, newspaper, cardboard, aluminium, plastic, toner & cartridge and corks. Orchard We have a collection of fruiting trees in the orchard beside the rain water tank. |
