THE GREEN TEAM

Saving the World... One piece of waste

at a time!

Did you know that we are a Waste Wise School?

Through hands-on learning experiences, Mrs Bibrlik, Mrs Bell, Mrs Whifield and their Green Team are changing attitudes and modeling responsible environmental behaviours.

Last week, students completed a Waste Audit to see what type of rubbish is most common at our School. The Green Team have come up with some great ideas to help with our waste management, so watch this space!

The Waste Wise Schools program targets schools in WA with educational strategies for reducing waste to landfill by implementing the 3Rs, reduce, reuse, recycle - while developing positive environmental values in students and the whole school community.
