Sustainability in Action

Walk to School from Lyneham Shops…

Let’s get our steps up AND reduce emissions on Friday as we walk from Lyneham Shops to school, meeting in front of The Front at 8:15am. Parents are welcome to walk as well!

Too much rubbish!

Our Year 2's were lucky to enjoy a waste audit from Gabby from Sustainable Schools. After examining the courtyard bins AND the teachers’ bin, students were stunned with these observations:

  • E Waste CANNOT go in landfill bins. The broken toaster we discovered will need to be dropped at an E Waste collection.

  • Recycled goods MUST NOT be in a bag/ liner. If they are, they will not get recycled and instead put into the landfill pile.
