On the last day of Term 3 (Friday, 19th of September), all the students at Cedar Campus headed out with their teachers to participate in Clean Up Australia’s “Great Spring Clean Up.” With all the wind and rain at this time of year, we wanted to ensure that we pick up all the chip packets and other rubbish so that they don’t blow or wash into Merri Creek or other parts of our beautiful local environment.
Younger students cleaned up the school grounds such as the playground or oval, middle years students cleaned up the carparks and driveway, and Year 5 and 6 students walked around the outside of our school, cleaning up the footpaths and even the Merri Creek trail across the road. Participating in events such as this a couple of times a year is an important reminder of the ways we should care for Creation every day.
