'Pacific As A Clean Place': Clean Up Australia Day
'Pacific As A Clean Place': Clean Up Australia Day
On Friday 4th March, students across the College participated in ‘Clean Up Australia Day’ activities which were led by our Environmental Pacific Action Group Captain Mia Elsing and a number of Year 12 students. Overall there were 70 students involved.
We recognise though that Clean Up Australia Day does not have to be just a one-day event; we all have the capacity to make better choices regarding the use of packaging and how we dispose of rubbish. 'Care, Dignity and Respect’ is a message that is important; not just in our interactions and relationships, but also in how we treat property and the environment around us.
On Saturday 19th March between 8.30pm and 9.30pm, the nation is recognising ‘Earth Hour’. This involves switching off lights and devices to conserve energy. The theme is ‘switch off for the places we love’. For more information, please refer to: https://earthhour.org.au/home/.
'One of the things that makes Australia so great is the beautiful outdoor lifestyle we live. From beaches, rainforests and rivers, to snow-capped mountains, coral reefs and lakes, we have one of the most beautiful countries in the world’ (Earth Hour, 2015).
