Worst Ever Litter Pick…in a good way!
The Sustainability Council endured their worst ever litter pick during today’s lunchtime.

The Sustainability Council now affectionately refer to him as the “Battery Boy” as he has singlehandedly brought in over 600 batteries on his own. Quite an amazing effort! Aiden has also put together a collage showing how much his family…
Blown Away
During Monday’s Team Building & Problem Solving Prep activity, the children worked in teams to keep a balloon in the air by tapping it. Each child was only allowed to touch the balloon with one finger. Team work and problem solving skills were needed to fight against the wind! Although five balloons were lost over…
