OPS Recycling Week Challenge 2023

We encourage all ākonga and whānau to join us in taking part in Recycling Week.

We have included lots of ideas about how to get invovled over the week, including a 'Recyclcing Week Challenge'

OPS Recycling Week Challenge 2023

Each day of the 2023 Recycling Week has a focus to help us get better at recycling.

We invite all OPS ākonga to keep a record and share it with us of what they manage to do over the week of October 16-22. We would love to share some of your great ideas on this page and in our newsletters.

You could record your ideas from the week...

on a poster
in a diary
on a short video
or... some other creative way

Please email your finished records to Mrs Holley - vholley@onehungaprimary.school.nz

OPS Recycling Week Learning

Samantha is learning to use the new compost bins! We had a visit from the awesome "Food Scraps Champions" group from Onehunga High who are working with the Auckland Council to educate the public on using these bins and they taught her how to change the bags and put them in the big compost bin. The scariest fact was that 40% of landfill waste is food scraps and we could solve that problem as a country by simply composting! Now, Sammi and Allegra are learning to do this job - with pegs on their noses!
