On the 3rd of June, 2025, the Year 2 students went on an exciting and inspiring excursion to CERES Community Environment Park in Brunswick East. The day was all about learning how we can care for our environment by reducing waste and making more sustainable choices.

Students participated in three hands-on workshops throughout the day. At the Merri Creek Clean-Up, they explored the local environment and helped collect litter along the creek. They learned how waste can end up in our waterways and the impact this has on animals and the natural world.

In the Composting session, students discovered how food scraps and garden waste can be turned into healthy soil through nature’s recycling process. They enjoyed looking at worms, compost bins, and learning how easy it is to reduce food waste at home and school.

During Rethinker Tinker, students made their own recycled paper and explored creative ways to reuse everyday materials. This fun and interactive activity encouraged everyone to think differently about the things we often throw away.

The day helped students understand how the choices we make—like bringing nude food, using reusable items, and sorting our rubbish correctly—can have a big impact. They returned to school full of ideas and enthusiasm about how we can all work towards a zero waste future.

Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers and to CERES for such a valuable learning experience.
