News from the EcoMarines
Dear parents and carers of students in years 3 to 6,
As you may have been told, this term up to week 8 we have started giving raffle tickets for every wrapper free lunch your children bring in. This is going to be based off how many tickets each student collects in each year level and the prize for the winning year level will get to see a science show 'beneath the streets'.
This will be held on Wednesday Week 8, 9:30 after assembly in the hall for the winning year level from collecting the most raffle tickets.
Beneath the streets is an amazing science show run by the company Urban Utilities and teaches kids about what happens beneath the streets in the water ways.
Urban Utilities has teamed up with Tangalooma EcoMarines to challenge school students to remember that water is a precious resource and that every choice we make, what we pour down the sink, what we flush down the toilet or what goes down the stormwater drains and makes an impact on our local waterways.
Through the Tangalooma EcoMarines program they offer students environmental leadership opportunities including whole school challenges, attendance at high school water and waste conferences, early childhood toilet training materials and more. They work together with the EcoMarines to promote the value of water and explore ways to take action to combat water pollution and to make a difference in our beautiful Moreton Bay, Brisbane River and surrounding waterways.
Tangalooma EcoMarines offers inspirational environmental education programs including the science show beneath the streets. They focus on achieving better environmental outcomes and developing environmental leadership among students of all ages, schools, community organisations and businesses.
