Waste Free Wednesdays

St Paul’s is committed to being an environmentally friendly school. We encourage all students to bring a waste free lunch every Wednesday. On this day, we ask parents to pack a lunch for their child that contains no throw away packaging. Rather, we recommend using a bento style lunchbox where each food can be contained in its own section, or using re-usable packaging such as containers, bees wax wrappers, silicone zip bags. Some of the benefits of Waste Free Wednesdays are outlined below:

• Reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill.
• Reduce the rubbish within our school grounds.
• Cut household spending. Buying foods in larger, bulk packaging is more cost effective for your family.
• Consider healthier options to include in school lunches.

Each Wednesday, class teachers will award one playground token to every participating student. The tokens are counted towards the House Cup at the end of the term. The winning house receives additional play time at the end of the term.
