Our Year 4 students have been exploring the importance of environments and the sustainable management of resources. As part of their learning, they had the fantastic opportunity to visit our school’s very own Project Recology Shed and Pop Shop. Students saw firsthand how food scraps from our kitchens, canteen, Sugarloaf Cafe, and yard organics bins are transformed into nutrientrich soil enhancers that are used around our College. They discovered the creative process of repurposing bottle tops into new products like soap dishes, plant pots, and pens to be sold by our Poplars students, and in place of new materials to refurbish and create furniture. A highlight of the visit was a fun guessing challenge, where some students won a prize for correctly estimating that it takes 50 bottle tops to make a single soap dish! This hands-on experience showed them the power of recycling & sustainable resource management in our community.
