Going Green!

                                                                                                 GOING GREEN!!

Today in Inquiry we learnt more about what is means to be sustainable. We investigated ways in which we are environmentally sustainable in areas of both home and school e.g. turning off the lights, eating nude foods and using active travel.

We learnt all about the 6 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse, Rethink and Repair) and what they involve.

Here is a cool song which tells us more about what is means to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

We have some homework as well for parents to complete. We ask that you please fill out our survey below so that we can learn about the sustainable of your workplace; 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!

Asylum Resource Centre!

Today some student from Grades 3-6 had the opportunity to visit the Asylum Resource Center in Footscray. It was very beneficial to see first hand the positive impact that our donations are making to those people most in need in our community. You can learn more about the Center, including ways you can help by visiting their website below. The selected students will be sharing their learning from the experience with the rest of our school community soon. Here are some feedback from students and photos of our trip.
