College Cleans Up Australia

On Friday 2 March, students of all ages took part in this year’s Clean Up Australian Schools Day. This event is a significant day on the school calendar and engages almost all of our community, demonstrating in force this year’s “Hand Up, Help Out” message.

Students collected litter from the College grounds and surrounding areas. In total, close to half a million square metres were covered, including Shepherdson Road, Marist Park, the west section of the Railway lands, St Paul's and more. In total, a mammoth 1.7 tonnes of waste was collected and removed from our region!
