Last term, in Week 10, our passionate Environmental Club students organised the College’s very first Zero Emissions Week. The aim was to raise awareness about environmental issues and challenge students to think about how they can make small changes to make a big difference.<\/p>\n

The initiative began on Monday morning when students handed out homemade zero-waste banana bread<\/a>. This delicious bread was made with whole bananas – skin and all!<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, students were asked to pledge one thing they would do to reduce their environmental impact. They wrote their pledges on a paper leaf to create a tree mural.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, members of the club ran a beeswax wrap workshop where students made their own reusable food wrap. Beeswax wraps are easy and inexpensive to make. You can make your own at home by following these instructions<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Thursday in Period 3, classes across the College switched off their lights as a symbol of change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The club also ran a writing challenge and posted daily tips and quiz questions in the notices each day. Congratulations to the winners of the daily quiz: Sibella Nam, Savannah Rose, Talia Zammarrelli and Wendi Fan.<\/p>\n

Environmental Club is led by TAS\/VET teacher, Emma Smith.<\/p>\n
