Our school waste management goal has been to REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE and incorporate sustainable practices to reduce the school’s ecological footprint. These practices will teach our students to care for our environment now and for the future.

In 2020, St Francis of Assisi applied for a grant to buy new garden beds, seeds for seasonal planting, a Compost Green Cone, coloured waste management bins and signage. Due to Covid-19, the implementation has been a slow process but hopefully, in Term 3, students will be educated and transitioned the school’s sustainable practices.

What can we do as a school community now?

IT IS TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE !

The world is polluting over 300 million tons of plastic into the ocean every year.
This is not only harming the environment and ocean but the wildlife and people.

One way we can help eliminate this environmental issue is to change your shopping purchases. Instead of buying packaged items and putting them into your child’s lunch boxes, put them in nude food containers. Please help us REDUCE the amount of soft plastics we are accumulating at our school.
