Clean Up Australia Day - Friday 5 March
This Friday 5 March we as a school community are supporting Clean Up Australia Day.
There has been a surge in single-use disposable items, such as takeaway coffee cups, food packaging, masks, and sanitised wipes; all of which are polluting our local parks, bushland, streets, waterways, and beaches. In fact, research reveals more than 1 in 3 (34%) Australian households self-identified as producing more packaging waste during lockdown periods in 2020 compared to previous years, and more than 1 in 2 (55%) reported they are now more concerned about product packaging waste than they were in 2019. Clean Up Australia Chairman, Pip Kiernan, says now is the time for all Australians to Step Up to Clean Up, to help protect and conserve their local environments. “Last year saw immense disruption to our lives, not least of all to our local environments which have been impacted by increased uptake of single-use, disposable items,” said Ms Kiernan.
All students are asked to bring in a pair of gloves, as we clean up areas in and around our school. All students will be closely supervised as they participate in this important environmental, community event.
