This term, our College has brought back the Return and Earn initiative through Duke of Edinburgh service, showing how small actions can make a big difference. By recycling bottles and cans, we’ve not only helped reduce waste but also raised vital funds for charities making a real impact.
We have two separate charity bins across the College in which students can decide where to give their donation. One of the charities is Little Wings, which provides free air and ground transport for seriously ill children in regional and rural areas, helping families access lifesaving medical treatment. We also support the Madagascar Water and Resilience Project, which delivers clean water, better sanitation, and stronger communities in Madagascar.
Together, our efforts have supported children both here in Australia and across the world, having already raised over $2000 through different initiatives. Every bottle collected has been a step towards helping others and protecting our planet. If you would like to partake as a family, feel free to collect bottles at home and send them in to College where all bottles go directly to the charity. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed; your efforts show that when we work together, we can change lives.
