Take part in our Plastic Free Lunch Day

On Thursday 30 July 2026, schools across our community are invited to take part in a plastic free lunch by bringing waste-free lunchboxes. On this day, schools across our region will come together to say no to single-use plastics and yes to smarter, more sustainable choices.

By taking part, your students become part of a collective movement, showing that small actions when taken together can create real, lasting change. It’s a simple, hands-on way to empower students, spark conversations, and demonstrate the incredible impact of working as one.
