Sustainability Noticeboard

We’re here with a simple purpose – to protect what we love. Every sustainable change we make today will create a safer future for our children.

🎉 IT’S PARTY SEASON! KEEP IT LOW-WASTE

If you’ve got a party coming up, here’s a great little tip: Northbridge Library has free Party Kits you can borrow – and they’re perfect for cutting down on single-use plastic.

Each kit comes with:

Reusable plates, cups, bowls, platters and cutlery
A cupcake stand
Gorgeous fabric bunting (so you can skip the balloons!)

There are two colour themes – blue/green or pastel multicolour – and they’re very easy to borrow. Just use, wash and return.

Lots of NPS families borrow them regularly (see some pics below). Worth checking out if you’re planning something soon!

♻️ HANDY RECYCLING HELP – HOMECYCLE PICK UPS

If you’ve got a pile of stuff building up that doesn’t belong in the yellow bin, HomeCycle is a free and easy way to clear it out sustainably – book a pickup online, leave your items out, and they’ll collect from your doorstep and recycle them. Amazing!

They collect things like:

Soft plastics
Clothes and textiles
Blister packs
Small household electronics
Domestic batteries
Oversized cardboard
Even old X-rays!

🎬 REMINDER: FREE OUTDOOR MOVIE – FUTURE COUNCIL

A reminder that the free screening of Future Council is happening tomorrow – Saturday 25 October – at the Coal Loader in Waverton.

It’s a great chance to see a thought-provoking film by Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film) – and it’s all about kids leading the way on climate solutions.

Bring a picnic and enjoy the sunset and live music before the movie starts at 7:30pm.

Gates open from 5pm – hope to see some familiar faces there!
