Environmental Group
This year our Environmental Group was nominated for the Young Landcare Leadership Award in the Mid Coast Regional Landcare Awards and I am very excited to announce that we won! Unfortunately, there is unable to be a ceremony due to COVID restrictions, however, we will go through to the State Awards next year.

This is an amazing honour, and as Environmental Leader I am very proud of the group and all the work they have put in this year. It wouldn’t have been possible without their dedication and diligence. We have worked incredibly hard this year, organising events and initiatives both within the school and in the community, so it is wonderful to be recognised for these actions. We hope that the St Clare’s community will continue to support the Environmental Group in the coming months.
Upcoming Projects
Next Friday we will be hosting a school-wide Kahoot to fundraise for the Australian Youth Climate Coalition! We are participating in their fundraising campaign Speak Up to raise awareness about climate inaction in Australia and share our own stories!
The Kahoot is taking place next Friday, 10 September at 7 pm and is open to parents, teachers and students! All you have to do to enter is donate to our Speak Up account and fill out the form to let us know you are coming!
It is $2 for individual players or if you want to have some family fun, it’s $5 for the whole family!
There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes available so make sure to donate and sign up!
As part of the fundraising campaign, we will also be holding an art competition. Students who wish to enter simply have to create an artwork around sustainability! It can be a sculpture out of recycled materials, a painting about climate change or even a poem!
When school comes back there will be an exhibition of all the artworks and a prize for the 1st place winner, judged by a panel of teachers and the Environmental Group leader!
All submissions should be photographed and emailed to finlay.oconnell@mnstu.catholic.edu and entries close on Friday, 17 September.
It only costs $2 per submission, which again should be donated straight to our Speak Up page.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email finlay.oconnell@mnstu.catholic.edu.au
