This term in Sustainability the campus is continuing to learn more about sustainable practices within the school. Many classes are now becoming leaders in their area of responsibility.

Our campus is coming together for a week of activities for Reconciliation Week. This has been a wonderful opportunity to learn from our First Nation people how for 60 000 years they have lived sustainably, using only what is needed, respecting the environment and sharing their wonderful culture and knowledge. The journey we take it together.

After School Garden Club

Our small but dedicated group of students, parents and staff come together every Monday afternoon from 3.15pm to 4pm to look after the garden. This term we have begun to harvest our vegetables and cook with them. The students made a very yummy pizza to celebrate their hard work.

Big news is coming regarding our Recycling programs, so stay tuned!

Please continue to bring in:

• Batteries
• Coffee pods (make sure they are DRY and EMPTY). You can bag the grounds up and send to school as well.
• Ring pulls from cans of drink
• Plastic lids from bottles (wash and remove inner seal)
• Containers for change bottles/cans (clean and LIDS removed). Place in the BIG blue recycling skip near the admin area

We have continued partnerships with WasteWise, WaterWise, SunSmart, Clean Up Australia, Bunnings Joondalup, Woolworths, The Worm Shed, Tucker Bush and Sustainable Schools WA amongst a few.       

Happy gardening and sustainable thinking,

Sandra Bennett – Science/Sustainability Teacher (JESC). Sustainability Coordinator (Joondalup Schools)
