Assembly Enviro Update

Hey guys!

So some you may know and some of you don’t. This year, Maungaraki School is shooting for the EnviroSchools Green Gold. So far we have achieved Bronze and Silver, but now we are pushing it for Gold. We want to prove that Maungaraki School is environmentally friendly and have a space of sustainability.

One of our main goals is reducing our waste that goes into the landfill, the things you put in the black bins. As you may know, each syndicate has their own colourful bins, labelled plastics, food scraps, citrus and general rubbish. We want to see your lunch rubbish end up in our colourful bins rather than the black ones. So for two weeks we will be tracking where your waste goes. We are having a bin competition to see which syndicate is best at using our colourful bins. It is simple, put your food remains in the colourful bins, the more you help your syndicate to win a special prize. The syndicate with the least waste in their black bins, wins.

This year, Colgate (the toothbrush brand) is holding a competition. Colgate wants to reuse products you have used to make more. Maungaraki School is participating in this and we need your help. Here is your job, if you have any old or used dental products, bring them to school. You can bring in Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, Dental Floss Containers, Mouthwash and of course the cardboard We will ship your used products to Colgate which adds more points to our school. You can bring old toothpaste tubes, toothpaste boxes, old toothbrushes, dental floss containers. For every product you bring we can make a little bit of money for it.  The school with most products shipped wins $1000 dollars from colgate.

Remember you can do your part to help our school win Gold. Simply putting your rubbish in the right place and bringing your old dental products to your classroom  is playing a big part to help us.
