Clean Up Australia Day 35 Years of a Cleaner Country!
Did you know that over 22 million Aussies over the years have stepped up, pulled on their gloves and donated their time to improve the environment? Well, this year proved to be the ‘Biggest Clean Up Event EVER!’ After operating for 35 years, Clean Up Australia day celebrated its birthday in style and St. Paul’s School students did their part to help celebrate! On Friday the 28th February, our JS Environmental Leaders: Maxi, Tisya and Iona led our Junior School students to clean up our School grounds. With the support of a BINGO card, we kept our eyes out for everything from microplastics to shoes, smelly socks, lost lunchboxes, stationery items, plastic bottles, bottle lids and those pesky soy sauce packets! Whilst our school grounds were generally pretty clean, we did find some ‘hot spots’ for rubbish. Now it’s up to our Environmental Leaders to see what we can do to target those troublesome areas! Thank you to our JS community for rolling up their sleeves, putting on some gloves and getting involved! We loved seeing everyone work together! In addition, Mrs. C, Maxi, Tisya and Iona and their families spent Sunday the 2nd March at Captain Burke Park, Kangaroo Point. They walked the streets of Kangaroo Point, searching for rubbish with the rest of the Tangalooma EcoMarines crew. We found all sorts of unusual things and enjoyed the opportunity to sort through and analyse the litter. The best part was celebrating with the Today Show, Urban Utilities, Tangalooma Island Resort and the Clean Up Australia Day Crew. And yes… the cake was as delicious as it looks!
