In 2019 our SRC students and staff worked with our students to reduce our landfill rubbish by placing poppas and water bottles in the Vinnies Return and Earn blue bins. In 2019, through the Return and Earn partnership with Vinnies schools within the Diocese of Wollongong recycled 75, 317 containers raising a total of $28,751.35 for Vinnies social works. This means that we have reduced the amount of rubbish going to landfill and we have also raised money for the St Vincent de Paul Society who assist those people in our community who need a helping hand. 
At the end of Term 4, we were congratulated for being one of the top 12 schools who
collected the most containers in 2019. Congratulations everyone!
12th place - St Francis of Assisi Warrawong - 1362 containers recycled raising $740.81 for Vinnies.
Imagine what we can achieve in 2020. If you would like to contribute to our bins,
please feel free to bring your containers in too!

Our schools are doing their bit to respond to "the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor" that Pope Francis calls us to in Laudato Si'
