EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour has become so much more than just turning off the lights, but that classic switch-off moment is still super important! On Saturday, March 22, 2025, millions of people around the world will turn off their lights at 8:30 PM local time to show their love for the environment.
This year, we're also excited to celebrate Earth Hour Schools Day on Friday, March 21. Schools are encouraged to get involved, learn about the environment, and have some fun while supporting our planet.
Let’s join together as a school community to participate in these awesome events, spread the word about taking care of our Earth, and inspire each other to make a difference! Keep an eye out for more details on how we’ll be celebrating Earth Hour!
10c RETURN AND EARN RECYCLING
We have recently updated our account details for our 10c Return and Earn Recycling
Program.
Families are asked to conveniently take their 10c drink containers straight to the High Speed Depot Drop Off at 47 South Street, South Kempsey whenever it suits you.
The School Office has small cards with our NEW Crunch Account details on it to keep in your car (or use this bar code).
All proceeds are used to assist with our St Joseph’s veggie garden and related learning activities.
Collection bags are still available in the Canteen Foyer. Children who recycle by visiting the High Speed Drop Off will still receive a prize from the Enviro Prize Box (see Mrs Hagger in the Canteen). Just be sure to bring in your docket to Mrs Tarrant.
SUSTAINABILITY HUB
old phones, batteries, used stamps, prescription glasses, toothpaste tubes/brushes and plastic writing implements.
Please feel free to drop these into the bins located in the canteen foyer.
If you have other items that you think the school may be able to use for art/craft etc please contact us.
