Last term, the enthusiastic students of CR9 took on the important task of conducting a whole school waste audit. With great teamwork, they emptied all the bins onto a tarp and sorted the rubbish into different types of waste. Each type was carefully weighed and tallied, and the results are displayed in the graph below.

The audit was conducted on a lunch order day to ensure we captured the maximum amount of potential rubbish. Thanks to the efforts of our wonderful families providing waste-free lunch boxes, Alkimos Primary School has significantly reduced its rubbish over the past 12 months.

A huge thank you to all the students involved in the project and to our supportive families. Your commitment to a cleaner, greener school is making a positive impact every day!

Kind regards,
