Congratulations to our Green Warriors, our youngest students in Early Childhood 1-3, who found a way to reduce the use of plastics at lunch time and use the monies saved to provide Sammelsacks to each Junior School family. They joined forces with older students to produce a video about how to recycle plastics using Sammelsacks. Well done students!
