Last Friday our school environmental leaders, Archer, Harper and Bailey attended the annual Eco-Marine Workshop at Tangalooma. Their day began with a ferry over to the island with the other EcoMarine’s from Brisbane and Gold Coast schools. Once on the island they were put to the test by competing in a sand castle competition where they collaborated with another school to build an Australian endangered animal. Our students were challenged with creating a Green Sea Turtle and did an exceptional job, winning the competition.

The leaders then engaged in a range of workshops focusing on different environmental issues such as food waste, water conservation, plastics and the overproduction and wastage of clothing. Our environmental leaders began their action plan on environmental endeavours they would like to tackle this year at Coomera Rivers. Then we ended the day with the excitement of feeding the dolphins.

Overall, it was a long fun-filled day filled with learnings and inspiration to continue our environmental initiatives at school to make the planet a better place.  Thank you to Miss Landers for taking our leaders to away for the day.
