Sustainability in Action!

Last week, 2 new recycling programs were proposed by students and families. Tom and Costa will now be collecting cans and donating the money toward better school conditions for children less fortunate. "Sister Genny talked to us about kids going into the mines and getting minerals to make electronics. It's really dangerous. Costa said we should do something so we are crushing cans and giving the money to Worldvision," Tom said.

The Collett family has also been inspired after Ben went home and informed them that Nespresso capsules could be recycled by returning them to the store. Taking things further, they have offered to take all Nespresso capsules on behalf of our school community! We will now be collecting them in the Sustainability Corridor, outside 1 Teal.

Thank you to the O'Keeffe and Collett families for paying it forward and creating a better world for our children.
