We are excited to announce that Macquarie College recently received the ‘Innovation Award’ for the Lake Macquarie City Council’s School Environment Award Program. You may remember this year our participation in the Hunter Water World Shower Challenge, the launch of ‘The Archives’ (a second hand store promoting the upcycling of products) and our work with Landcare Australia. Along with these exciting endeavours, our Senior School students have also conducted a waste audit which has resulted in a pilot study for a new waste system across the campus and have dedicated lots of time and effort to our many vegetable and herb gardens, native plants and our honey and native bee hives. Well done to our hard working staff and students and congratulations on the recognition of your efforts!
