National School Clean Up Day
Last Friday was the annual School Clean Up Day. This day coincides with Clean Up Australia Day which was yesterday. This year each class chose an area around the school to clean up. The school was a buzz with students raking, sweeping and picking up rubbish taking great pride in looking after our school environment.

- Plastics are the most common rubbish item found on Clean Up Australia Day, representing over 33% of all rubbish collected over the past 10 years. This includes drink containers, confectionary packets and water bottles, all of which pose a huge threat to wildlife and our environment. Recycling plastic saves energy, valuable resources and helps to protect our environment.
