EAC Litter Around Schools campaign<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

EAC Litter Around Schools campaign PowerPoint was shared at our whole school Get Together and revisited throughout the session when standards had slipped.<\/p>\n

KSB Environment Review findings<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Clean Green Litter Team created posters to display in key areas of school as identified in our Environmental Review. This in turn prompted our Captains and Prefects to be more vigilant at these areas and support us in addressing littering when it occurs.<\/p>\n

We have sought support from Cleaner Greener Communities to purchase new bins for our playground. We have a budget of \u00a3300 which was gifted to us from OnPath Energy and the Clean Green Team agreed this would be a good use of this money.<\/p>\n
