Merici College Green Tip #10 - Happy Easter and......

Happy Easter!

Did you know:

  • Australians produce 540kg of household waste per person, each year. 
  • That's more than 10kg for every single person, every single week. 
  • Of the estimated 67 million tonnes of waste Australians generated in 2017, just 37 was recycled, leaving 21.7 disposed of in landfill. 
  • It's estimated about 130,000 tonnes of Australian plastic ends up in our waterways and oceans each year.

Clean Up Our Waste

Big Sister Science Day

It was wonderful having Year 6 students from St Joseph's Primary School attend our Big Sister Science Day today.

The Year 6 students joined our Year 9 Science classes to support their classroom learning as they are currently studying volcanos. Our Year 9 students assisted the students in exploring Earth Science activities,rotating around 8 stations. This also included a demo volcano experiment with dry ice and warm water! The students also participated in a Sustainability class, planting seedlings and visiting our kitchen garden.
