We hope that everyone had a very happy and relaxing Easter.
Here are some tips for managing Easter waste sustainably!
You can recycle your Easter egg foil and any cardboard packaging. Hot cross bun packaging and other soft plastic can’t go in the Yellow bin, but you can drop it off at your local Coles or Woolies and place in the soft plastics recycling bin.

Year 8 Field Trip to Tidbinbilla yesterday provided students with the opportunity to broaden their study of the Australian landscape, develop fieldwork skills in the collection of data and record their observations during the visit.
On Tuesday 20 March 2018, all Year 8 students taking History were transported to the Middle Ages for a day of activities at school that were designed to enrich their study of the medieval past. Students participated in hands-on activities, led by teachers and other experts. They will be dressing, cooking, making art, dancing, and even practising archery, in ways that will enhance their understanding of the people and cultures of the past. Everyone had a great day learning something different about life during medieval times.
