This morning at the Year 4 assembly our school community was recognised for 10 years commitment to the Waterwise Schools program. Alana P and Gisela Z welcomed our guests from the Water Corporation.
Tracy Martino is the Water Corporations Priority One Communications Officer and Emma Williams who is the Water Corporation’s Waterwise School Coordinator. Both Tracey and Emma made a presentation to St Emilie’s for 10 years as a Waterwise School.
We also welcomed Vivienne Fepuleai as our environmental representative. Vivienne is from Cleanaway. Cleanaway are responsible for removing the waste we create at St Emilie’s. Vivienne is currently presenting waste and recycling incursions to the students in Years One to Six. These incursions are teaching the students the importance of recycling and sustainability and the impact it will have on our future actions.
The Year 6 Environmental Committee gathered for a photo with our special guests at the conclusion of the assembly.
Mrs Cogger shared a powerpoint to showcase the wonderful learning activities about water that our students have been participating in.
Thank you to Liam, Lachlan, Clayton, Jenna, Phoebe, Alison and Alana, who represented St Emilie’s beautifully at the recent LifeLink Launch at Newman College. Thank you also to all St Emilie’s children who contributed one of the 45 000 hearts displayed on the day. These hearts represent the love and compassion we extend to all those in need. We will be raising funds for LifeLink, and developing a greater awareness of the agencies that benefit from our donations, in the coming weeks.
