John Curtin College of the Arts (JCCA) Roots and Shoots members took part in a native seedling planting day at Yangebup and Little Rush Lake in Cockburn, Western Australia. The Roots & Shoots members planted over 700 seedlings from a variety of native plants endemic to the south coastal area. Students also spent time with Nyoongar elders learning about traditional culture and the unique ecosystem of the Beeliar Wetlands. Great effort JCCA!

Fantastic Not Plastic!

Kalkie State School students in Bundaberg Queensland have been very busy caring for the environment and their local endangered loggerhead turtles at Mon Repos. The students have created “Fantastic Not Plastic” 100% cotton shopping bags for some special people who visited their classroom.

The 25 individually designed bags were made to promote the use of cloth bags in place of plastic. Students illustrated different sea animals on the bags but did not forget to feature a chimpanzee for Dr Jane Goodall and a Bilby for Frank Manthey (Co-Founder of Save the Bilby Fund).

Amazing work Kalkie State School!
