Volunteers make a difference every day in our community. And whether you’re young or old, even the smallest contribution you make can have a positive impact on a greater cause.
Wynnum West State School students and teachers took to the school’s gardens, pathways, and surrounding footpaths recently, participating in the Clean Up Australia Day for Schools event.
“Being a bayside school and living so close to the beautiful Moreton Bay, we believe that taking on an initiative to reduce the amount of rubbish in our school and wider community is important,” said the school’s principal, Ben Turner.
“Participating in the Clean Up Australia Day Schools event was a great way to start students thinking about cleaning up our school and learning about the different types of rubbish we have in our school community.”
Wynnum West State School hopes their participation in this event will encourage the next generation of community leaders to take their environmental responsibilities seriously. They are proud of their contribution to the community, ensuring a cleaner school community, one piece of rubbish at a time.
