Sustainability in Action

Sister Genny was back at it, teaching Year 2 about the importance and meaning of Fairtrade products. Year 2 is currently exploring resources that come from the Rainforest. What better resource to consider than chocolate?

Take Aways:

“You have to look for the Fairtrade logo on the wrappers. I found one on my KitKat!” said Aaron P.

“The children who make the chocolate never even get to taste it themselves,” said Maddison D.

“I didn’t know chocolate came from cacao beans,” said Sophia R.

“The children are slaves and they have to use big knives to cut off the beans,” said Kathy A.

Be sure to check your Easter chocolates for the Fairtrade symbol!

Please send in your Easter wrappers, flattened, as we are attempting to be the school that collects the most in the ACT. The collection box in the Sustainability Corridor outside 1 Teal.
