Year 3s get Waste Wise!

Holy Cross College has started the process to become a Waste Wise School. As part of our application, one of the very first things we have to do is a waste audit. This enables us to see exactly what waste we are dealing with, and how much of it could be recycled.

The year 3 students conducted the waste audit. They were very shocked to see how much whole fruit is thrown away by students, and un eaten sandwiches. They were also surprised by the number of plastic packets the students of Holy Cross use each day, as many of these are single use plastics and cannot be recycled. The students counted the waste and weighed it. The results were then taken away to be analysed.

Please keep an eye on the blog, and the school's Facebook page to find out how you can help Holy Cross to become a waste wise school.
