Eco Projects


Bread Tag Project. By Kayla König
Here at St Mary’s DSG we have two of my favourite projects going. We have the bread tag project where we have to collect bread tags. For a certain amount of bread tags we get donated a wheel chair and we are able to give to a disabled person to change their life. We collect bread tags all over the school. We have two amazing teachers who run this. Miss Kuhn is in charge in the Junior school and in the Senior school we have Miss Brown.
 
Plastic Bag Project. By Kayla König
Our other project is the plastic bags we collect these throughout the school. We fold our plastic bags the they are made in to school bags and get a solar powered light to light the way home or to school when it is still dark. These bags can change someone’s life. If you don’t know how to fold them just look at the picture below.

                                   Grade 7 Fashion Show On the 21 of June, the Grade 7 girls modelled the dresses they had made out of recycled materials. It was loads of fun and everyone had a great time . Some were made out of plastic, others bottle tops and some were even made out of paper! The dresses were gorgeous. All of the dresses were unique and you could see each girls art style in them. We all had a great time modelling them and posing for the cameras. The grade 7's worked hard and the end result was fantastic!! Mrs Bosch was very happy and we were very proud of our creations. We have some future fashion designers amongst us. Well done everyone!! Keep posted for pictures on the fashion show.

Environmental Days

What is World Environmental Day? World Environmental Day is on the 5th of June, where people around the world celebrate this day and appreciate the environment around them. It first started in 1972 when people first realized that we spend to much time working and rushing around we are never able to stop and look around and appreciate the beautiful nature around us. This day reminds us how grateful we should be for sunny skies, babbling brooks, and phenomenal flowers. During this day people should really look deep into nature and spend time learning and appreciating it. I feel that if we can make an exception for one day to celebrate nature we can do it everyday. Lets make today and everyday a World Environment Day!!
