Earth Care Captains

Through our journey and leadership process, the Earth Care Committee has achieved many things, including:

Implementation and advertising of Battery Bins around the College at various locations allowing students and staff to conveniently recycle dead batteries.

Organisation of Mobile Muster that allows students and staff in the Senior School to recycle their phone’s valuable materials in a secure and ethical way and keep them from going into landfill.

Supporting the College’s installation of solar panels and electric car charging stations in Redeemer’s brand new Car Park (Gate 4) on Priestdale Road.

Whilst Go Green Day unfortunately had to be cancelled due to COVID-19, we continued with creating and presenting devotions for both the Junior and Senior School, reminding both students and staff to be mindful of their individual and collective impacts on the environment. We have also given friendly reminders to all students and staff that only recyclable items can go in the commingled recycling bins; no food scraps, plastic wrappers, or anything else to ensure the recycling bins are not contaminated.

Again in 2021, we have been particularly inspired by the Junior School’s efforts in caring for their own vegetable garden, installed at the end of last year. It is heartening to see our youngest members of the Redeemer community caring for the planet in their own way!

Even though it has been a tough and challenging year with impacts of COVID-19 getting in the way, we have still persevered and have implemented new initiatives into the College environment. Thank you to Ms Dixon and Mr Phillips for helping us serve Redeemer Lutheran College as Earth Care Captains in 2021.
