Clean Up

Students and Staff gathered at Home Hill State High School in the heat to help reduce the impact of rubbish to better their school and community on Sunday March 3.

The school thanked all staff and students involved in Clean Up Australia Day including Jack Srisoongneon, Cheynne Worland, Ava Protstat, Zoe Bonanno, Grace Ogomeni, Maliq Ogomeni, Rowen Petersen, Saxon Petersen, Eli Ogomeni, Lucy Young, Louise Hayne, Bridget Zimmerlie, Daniel Hayne, Cruz Torkington, Sean Phayre-Leung, Sharni Smerdon, Faryn Poli, Saelym Poli, Ashlyn Poli, Adam Young and Talin Poli.

Staff involved were Bruce Gall, Lisa Todeschino and Julie Young.

Home Hill State High School thanked everyone involved and said thanks to Tony and the Crown Hotel for the discounted pizza and garlic breads.

Since it’s beginnings over thirty years ago, over twenty million Australians have stepped up and donated their time to improve the environment for Clean Up Australia Day.

The cause’s focus is as much on preventing rubbish entering the environment as it is on removing what has already accumulated.

Clean Up Australia Day is on the first March of every year and everybody is encouraged to participate to help reduce waste in Australia and your community.
