The Re-thinking Waste-in-Schools Challenge will employ an innovative and fun ‘inter-school challenge approach’ to make recycling and litter abatement programs in schools more effective and interesting.
Participating schools will choose the projects they wish to tackle from a range of activities such as paper recycling/reuse, aluminium can recycling, organics recycling, energy and water reduction or activities that relate to litter management.
Schools can choose from a list of suggested project ideas or make up their own. Schools will also be required to create fun presentations (e.g. street theatre or song/comedy/dance routine), poems or works of art. A Big-Waste-Day-Out gala event will be held on 25th Aug (at Marrara Indoor Stadium) for school students to participate in an environmental theme song, dance, act, play or film and share environmental project presentations.
The wider school public will be invited to attend and share school project outcomes as an inspiration to participate in future Re-thinking Waste-in-Schools Challenges.
