In 2024, our Environment Committee was primarily represented by dedicated Years 4 and 5 students, with occasional participation from Years 3 and 6 students.  

Due to their busy schedules, the Committee welcomed any students who could attend the weekly lunch meetings on Wednesdays when they could. During these sessions, we discussed the importance of recycling, reusing, and reducing waste and how we can promote awareness throughout the School. 

The Committee has presented at several assemblies, sharing their knowledge, spreading awareness, and offering practical tips to help preserve our Schoolgrounds and special gardens.  

World Environment Day was celebrated with fun quizzes, bookmarks to promote water conservation, and Committee Members donning high-visibility vests to discuss environmental issues with other students.  

National Tree Day was marked by the planting of trees, shrubs, and flowering natives, with Mr Lewis’s guidance and direction each class had the opportunity to plant something to enhance our playground, leaving their mark on our wonderful space. 

The Committee worked hard to develop new ways to raise awareness among their peers about water conservation, creating signs and presenting prepared information in assemblies. Getting our hands into the garden beds, weeding, and preparing the soil for new plants was always a highlight. The question on everyone’s mind: What can we grow next?
