Containers for Change - Year 4 and 5 Entrepreneurial unit

This year our Year 4s and 5s are taking advantage of a government initiative to raise money, in a bid to acquire a Junior School Water Bubbler.

We are collecting refundable containers and cashing them in.  Students have been working each lunch time to inform other students and collect.  They have brainstormed changes that could occur throughout the College to support a more sustainable future, that is litter free.  Ideas included changes to the tuckshop and our personal habits in consumerism.

On our P-5 carols night we will also have several collection bins and a promo crew giving attendees the code (C10026221).  We will be selling keyrings that will have the code on them for a gold coin donation.

Given that it will soon be school holidays, you can continue to participate in the College’s ‘containers for change’ scheme at home. There are many companies refunding, the easiest to access is Mark Drive, off Daniel St, Caloundra Road.  It is called ‘Refund It’ and you can simply self-label your bags of containers with our code and the money will go towards our Junior College bubbler.

Thank you in advance for supporting this Junior College initiative.
