Through the dedication of our students, staff, and wider school community,
we have implemented a range of recycling initiatives that help reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimise our environmental impact.
From containers and food waste to batteries, stationery, uniforms, and soft plastics, our school actively diverts a significant amount of material from landfill each year. These programs not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also provide valuable opportunities for students to develop environmental awareness and responsible habits.
