We learnt that we can also have fun while helping our eco system, so our leadership team is working on some fun ways, events and special days that makes helping our environment more fun for our students and staff. We made a school pledge to be a voice and an advocate for endangered wildlife and our environment, so we hope to make that a reality. We made lots of friends on the way during the program and enjoyed watching the traditional Djirii Djirii dance and other cultural experiences. We were given advice on how the future of the environment is in our hands which really inspired us. Overall, it was a really fun event to attend and we ’ re honoured to have been chosen to have participated to represent our college outside in the community and in making our school a better place.

On Monday June 5, student representatives from the Secondary and Primary Campus went down to the Whittlesea Council to attend a Youth Environment Summit. We went in, got a badge with out name on it, and sat down at a table in a massive hall. There was a huge stage and representative from at least 15 different schools in our area. Then the presentation started, where a representative from the council started talking to us about what the day was going to be about. Over the course of the next 4 and a half hours we started covering topics such as carbon emissions, how we (this generation) can change the world, creating ideas as well as ask questions to the people giving us these presentations during our breaks. We were able to discuss topic such as future developments battling climate change and also how we, as young people, can start spreading awareness about climate change and actions we can take against it.
