Recycling is one of the best ways for individuals to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. According to statistics, Australia is one of the countries that generate the highest waste amounts in the world and waste materials that are not recycled, end up in already densely packed landfills.

Sustainability needs to be taken seriously by everyone and we all need to do our bit, whether it is by using a recycling bin or being more environmentally conscious. Every bit makes a difference and as small as it may seem, it can help to preserve our earth.

Last year, James House and Cumberland House joined forces in raising funds to purchase recycling bins for the Secondary school and encourage students to do their part in contributing to an environmentally friendly environment. Ten bins have been purchased; and adorned with bright stickers and information about acceptable commingle recycle waste; is now placed around our campus for use.

Thank you to every student who supported this very important and worthy cause!
