Sustainability in Action

A Lent for Our Common Home

Week 3- Taking Action

This week, inspire us with ways we can make a difference in our homes, communities and the world around us. You could:

  • Make an extra effort to serve others
  • Do a rubbish clean up
  • Write a letter to Mr Tarrant suggesting a change you would like to see at St Joseph’s

Prayer: We ask you to stir our hearts into action.

Changemakers

Changemakers is a group of students from Years 4-6 who are dedicated to action. After contemplating ways in which we can be the change we want to see in the world, this group is writing letters to businesses  requesting that disposable coffee cups become sustainably-minded. Other topics include a school recycling station for disposable masks, safer bike paths and a demand for sustainable packaging at local businesses.

Incursions Galore

When excursions aren’t on the menu, we can bring the experts to us! Students in Year 2 enjoyed an informative incursion on our waterways and water conservation from Icon Water.
Year 3 Waste Warriors participated in a waste training session with the Recycling Discovery Hub. Congratulations to the Kahoots winners Eddie G and Harry F!
