2020 Athletics Carnival Results
Recycling services resume
Just a reminder to all families, that our Year 6 Environmental Committee offer the following recycling services to our school community.
Greenbatch
Greenbatch Foundation partners with schools allowing students to collect their old PET plastic bottles through recycling, providing PET which is used in research and development for 3D printer filament. By recycling through Greenbatch we can save plastic from entering landfills, oceans and waste incinerators.
As from Term 3, our green and purple Greenbatch bins will return to the undercover area on Wednesday mornings. You are very welcome and encouraged to bring in your HDPE 2 and PET 1 plastics. PET plastic is the type found in drink bottles and food packaging such as strawberry punnets or peanut butter jars, and has the number 1 inside the recycling symbol.
Battery Recycling
We will also continue to offer our battery collection. The yellow battery bin will be placed out in the undercover area on Wednesday morning along with the Greenbatch bins. Please bring along your unwanted batteries and place them in the bin. Once the bin is 3/4 full we contact the City of Gosnells and the batteries are taken away for recycling.
If you bring your batteries or plastics to school on any other day you will find yellow battery bin in the undercover area and the purple Greenbatch bins parked up by Learning Hub.
Thank you for your continuing support and to our students for their efforts at contributing towards the health of the planet by conducting these recycling projects.

Disco Arrangements for this afternoon / evening
Dear Families,
Below are the options you have in regards to the K-2 and the Yr 3-6 disco this afternoon/evening.
Please note that we are striving to have the least number of parents on site as possible at any one time. If you are dropping/collecting your child from the classroom, there should only need to be one parent per family and you are asked to please be mindful of social distancing. Yr 3-6 parents are encouraged to use drive through.
Thanks everyone – we are sure that it will be a lovely night for the children. Kirsten Devereux and her team have done a really wonderful job organising this event and on your behalf I sincerely thank them for all their hard work!
We are crossing fingers and toes that rain won’t be a factor tonight 🙂
