This program helps schools to reduce their costs and gives students the chance to learn about sustainable practices. They strive to be Resource Smart schools and achieve their first star.
Every Wednesday at Newbury Primary School, Waste Free Wednesday is celebrated. They ask that no trash, chips packets, or cling wrap is brought to school on this day. This helps them protect the environment. Next time you pack lunch, think of how you can make your child’s lunch more waste-free. Every newsletter contains new tips and tricks to help students reduce their waste. The newsletter also features the award for the class with the lowest waste lunches.

Newbury is beginning to revive and re-establish its composting program. They have new composting bins near their greenhouse. After these bins are officially opened, students will be taught about composting and encouraged to bring in their vegetable and fruit scraps for their composting bins. There are many benefits to composting at Newbury. One of the most important is that their Kitchen Garden will be enriched with nutrients, and their vegetables, fruits and herbs will grow.
Their school now has a larger and more efficient greenhouse. We are very grateful to Mr. Brett, and Mr. Wayne for their hard work in creating an area that students and teachers can enjoy and take pride. Students will soon be able to use the greenhouse to grow new plants in warmer climates before they move on to the Kitchen Garden.
