SUSTAINABILITY IN ACTION!

Success! Saviour Lip Balm was a huge success last week, and we are looking forward to selling more! Saviour Lip Balm was created to reduce our waste output (with a half-price refill offered), and profits will be donated to charity.

Yesterday, myself, Josh O, Tom O, Olivia and Liam enjoyed the Eco Bus Tour where we explored other notably sustainable schools. The students each had something they are eager to bring back to Joey's for next year:

"I would like to expand our compost and bring in more greenery around the school," said Tom.

"I want to play a recycle song at the end of break during Effort For Excellence," said Liam.

"I think solar panels are important as well as a sustainability classroom," said Olivia.

"I want a Greenhouse, chicken coup, and Environmental Centre with a kitchen. That's all," said Mrs. McGee.

On Friday, St Joseph's will host 9 schools as they explore our own sustainability program. Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change, Shane Rattenbury, will also be in attendance. We are eager to show off our Waste Warriors, Energy Agents, veggie and native gardens as well as our recycling station and canteen!
