Adele Hailey Kiara Marni Callie Evie
We are happy to introduce our 2021 YEL Team. Following an application process,
Mrs Mudge selected the above students to represent the school at Young
Environment Leaders forums. Due to the fact that there are so many keen
applicants wishing to be involved in YEL, the students will take turns attending the
workshops each term. We look forward to hearing what the girls learn throughout
the year and how we can continue to implement positive environmental
changes at school.
The first YEL Forum is scheduled for Wednesday, 17th March at the riverfront in
Kingston on Murray where students will learn about Regent Parrots and why they
are important.

spoon or fork.
Tuna Cans To eliminate the potential for injury,
could you please open cans of Tuna
