Have you ever thought about this?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS 'AWAY'. WHEN YOU THROW ANYTHING AWAY IT MUST GO SOMEWHERE.

For the time being you can make sure that some of your "waste" goes somewhere useful.

Bring your used oral care products, make-up product packaging and unrepairable stockings to the collection boxes in Student Services. 

Also, please prepare your clean, unwanted clothing for donation to the annual Sw(op) shop in Term 4, Tuesday November 7th.

CLIMATE CHANGERS is Tim Flannery’s search for leadership on climate change.

Where are the leaders who will drive change? Are they strong enough to triumph where others have failed?

Tim poses these questions as he meets leaders past and present in the hope of finding answers.

Climate change is humanity’s greatest challenge. This film delves into what frustrates Tim, what motivates him, and where he believes the solutions lie.

7 September is National Threatened Species Day.

This date marks a sad day in Australia's history - the death of the last Tasmanian Tiger in 1936.

National Threatened Species Day brings attention to all the Australian native animal and plant species that are facing similar fates to that of the Tasmanian tiger.
