Sustainability in Action

ACT Young Australian of the Year, Maddie Diamond, came to speak to Year 3-5 last Friday. Maddie has established a rubbish collection group called Trash Gather here in Canberra. Students left feeling inspired about the changes they could make to have a great impact on the world.

“It was inspiring and made me think of all the little things I could do,” said Nellie.

“I learned that we aren’t the only ones in the world who care and there are a lot of things we can do to help,” said Jordan L.

“I liked the time she gave to answering everyone’s questions,” said Tihana B.

We have added batteries to our recycling collection! Please drop them in the white bucket in the Sustainability Corridor.
