Albion Primary School was awarded a 5-star sustainability rating by ResourceSmart Schools in August 2024, after a 5-year effort by staff, parents and students.
The school’s sustainability initiatives extend into the areas of biodiversity, energy, waste and water. One of many successful activities is the Recycle Shop, which takes place in the school’s Multi-purpose Room twice a year and is run by the Parents’ Club. Families are invited to donate unwanted toys, clothes and books, in return for tokens (one token per item). The tokens can then be used to purchase other goods from the shop, or donated to the student’s House box to earn points. It’s a great way to keep unwanted consumer goods out of landfill.
You can read more about Albion’s other sustainability activities, also supported by the Parents’ Club, on the school’s website.
