A paragraph written by Jamal Khalaf

Today our school will be participating in the Clean Up Australia Day event.
This event will mean that our classes or buddy classes will go around our school and clean up certain areas making our school so much cleaner.
This is an event held on the first Saturday of every March but because students don’t come to school on Saturday (obviously) we are encouraged to do it on the Friday before Clean Up Australia Day but because of the Pupil Free Day our School has decided to do it on Thursday the 4th of March.
This Event was founded on the 8th of November 1989 by Ian Kiernan making this year its 31st anniversary.
This year our school will be tallying up the amount of rubbish we collect and finding out what the most rubbish came from (e.g Zooper Doopers or snap lock-bags) and what we can do to prevent a dirty school. You might be asking yourself “Will this actually make a change?” yes, it will because our school has a group of talented children who think for others as well as themselves. In the last 30 years of Clean Up Australia Day 180,000+ Ute loads of rubbish has been cleaned up as well as 36 million hours of volunteer work and 18.3 million people have joined the fight against pollution.

• Classes are encouraged to take part.
• There are gloves, tongs and plastic trays that can be used to collect the rubbish outside the ELC/Outdoor classroom.
• Please put all the collected rubbish in the bin labelled ‘Clean-up Australia day’ that is outside ELC. This will be sorted/counted on Tuesday.
• Don’t collect in the trees at the back of the oval above the retaining wall.
• Please take photos of your class in clean-up action
