We’re Striving to Reduce Plastic to Landfill in 2020

Nude Food Every day at St Joes

Last year almost every student brought their lunch and snacks without wrapping. We all did a fantastic job and hopefully this continues. We’re aiming to make every day plastic free so we can limit the plastic going to Landfill and spreading around the world.
Many students have already done an amazing job at bringing nude food everyday so far this year.
Keep up the good work everyone.

We’re still collecting plastic lids and bread tags and pens and markers for Terracycle. So if you have pens or bread tags plastic lids or markers that are not needed or if they’re out of ink, bring them into school and put them in the containers at the front office.
