School Spotlight: Payne Road State School
EcoMarines Ambassadors at Payne Road State School have taken on an important role, being part of protecting and preserving the cleanliness of our planet! These dedicated individuals have turned the tide both on and off campus, dedicating time to litter collection, as well as contributing to their local Clean Up Australia Day event.
Payne Road State School’s “Senior Enviro Club” have used their lunch break to protect our environment. With a lot of effort, they collected bucketloads of litter and potential recyclables from across the school grounds, as well as their local park, in order to keep their environment safe, tidy, and wildlife friendly.
On Sunday, 1st March, Ambassadors Theo, Leon, Sunday, and Willa, along with their families and Mrs. McMahon, went down to Alfred & Lucina Best Park, The Gap and worked together to clean up along the creek line. The group removed a considerable amount of rubbish, including plastic packaging, straws, and silicone. Their efforts helped prevent this trash from reaching our waterways and entering the catchment. Talk about community legends!
Payne Road State School have truly embodied small actions creating big waves! The Senior Enviro Club have inspired meaningful and positive change in their school and the local community. These students have shown fantastic leadership, teamwork, and commitment to both their school and beyond, showing that no one is too young to start making a difference!
