Queenwood Junior School Eco Warriors

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker today I am recognising the Queenwood Junior School Eco Warriors who recently at Bradley's Head Amphitheatre collecting rubbish as a belated Clean Up Australia Day event. A special thank you to Queenwood students Ella, Sasha, Natalia, Ines, and Eden in Year 6, Waverly and Abby in Year 3, and Sarah from Year 1 who braved the cold to clean up Bradley's Head. They picked up hard plastics, Styrofoam, fishing lures, soy sauce plastic fish containers, plastic bottles, shoes, balloons, cans, plastic cups, lollipop sticks, tennis balls, and more to help make the area safer for wildlife and for future generations. A special thank you to Queenwood Parents Association Sustainability co-ordinator Jenni Hagland and Hazel Clarke for organising the day. With more than 2.7 billion plastic items ending up in NSW waterways each year, harming our local environment and wildlife, I am proud of these local students from Queenwood for doing their bit. With the ban on single use plastics being phased in this year, hopefully there will be less plastic and general rubbish to pick up in our local environment, and that we protect our natural areas for future generations.
