Welcome to the Glenelg
Goes Green web page!
On this page there is information about the plans, goals
and successes of the Go
Green
Group. The
latest success of the group is the smooth running of national tree day. Another
decision of the Go
Green
Group is
that in terms 1 and 4 on Thursdays the whole school will be turning off the
lights in their class rooms and other rooms to save electricity. Even this
webpage is a goal of the group but that will never be finished because we will
always be adding more.
We have split the team into five categories to work on
different goals in smaller groups. The different Groups are; Electricity (Jake
and Jono), Plants and Compost (Nicola, Dana and Brooke), Water (Tay and Salome)
Challenges (Hayley and Taylor) and Webpage (Austin and Robert with Jono as the
technical advisor).
We are thinking about hosting a
Go
Green
Day where students dress up in
green to raise money to buy rain water tanks and other things.
The Energy group are going to
be looking at getting the school solar panels.
The Water group are planning
to get rain water tanks for the school.
The Challenges group are in
charge of all the challenges for the
Go
Green
Group.
Plants and Compost group are
looking at how other schools are using compost bins and worm farms to recycle
waste and improve the garden areas around the school.
Lastly the Webpage group are
taking care of this page.
National tree day was very successful. We had Toyota, Trees
for life, Channel 7 and two of the Crows players turn up to help plant
trees and be an inspiration to all the kids. We had separate groups that went
with the guests and some planted trees around the school and some planted seeds
in little cardboard containers. We are all looking forward to when the trees
have grown and make the school look even better then it looks now. The main
people we have to thank are of course our sponsors for tree day and Michelle,
Julie, Lyn and Paul.
