• Toad Busts (Cane toads) every term
• Collection of cans for a container deposit scheme (to be introduced shortly)
• Participation in National initiatives such as: Walk Safely to School Day, Nude Food Day and Clean Up Australia Day
• Monitoring of water and electricity usage.
• Focus on energy and water saving strategies eg water saving taps, sensor lights
