As part of Science and Sustainability, Joondalup Primary School signed up for a Wonder Recycling Rewards program, which focused on the recycling and repurposing of soft plastic bread bags.

At the start of Term 2, the students were invited to accept this recycling mission:

• Collect as many soft bread bags as you can.
• Return them to your Block, where they will be stored in the Wonder Recycling box.
• For every 5kg of soft plastic bread bags…your Block can earn $500.

Seven weeks after the mission started, I have sent off FOUR FULL boxes to Red Cycle.

So…who are the winners?

Our Planet!

Over the course of Term 2 (in seven weeks), students at Joondalup Primary School have recycled 25kg of soft plastic bags.

Who are the Block winners?

The winners will be announced on Tuesday 21 June at the School Assembly.

In addition to collecting soft plastic bags, the students have also been collecting plastic bread tags. Over the seven weeks, the students across the school have collected 7.5kg of plastic bread tags. These tags are given to Aussie Bread Tags for Wheelchairs. The tags are recycled nationally in Australia and used to raise funds to buy wheelchairs for disadvantaged people.

Joondalup Primary School students are to be commended on their commitment to being change makers for the future. Keep bringing in your soft plastic bags and bread tags and as a community, we will help create a more sustainable future.
