NATIONAL RECYCLING WEEK – Nov 10-16
Participating
in National Recycling week provided our junior students the opportunity to take
action and celebrate their achievements regarding recycling. I would like to
thank families for your support in fostering a more sustainable approach to
your our daily practices.
Recycling workshops at Fyans Park Primary School
Last Monday on November 10, four year 7 & 8 Sustainability leaders from St Joseph’s College, came to Fyans Park to talk to the grade 3/4 students about recycling. They told us the difference between Recycling and REDcycling. We learnt that you can’t put soft plastic (that you can scrunch up) in the normal recycling bin, however it can be recycled at Coles supermarkets through the REDcycle program. The students gave us four red bins to start REDcycling and we did three activities to help reinforce which items go into each bin. We would like to thank Angus, Gabe, Joseph and Mitchell for coming it to teach us and help us start the program.
