Portarlington Get Composting

I had a great visit at Portarlington today.  The students were very keen to get started with composting but they weren't sure how to go about it.  So I told them to ask me any questions they needed answered.  One of the kids, Charlotte, asked me how other schools get started. Great question! I showed them the blog and shared the information from some of the other schools that are Doing More with Less.  Great to share across Australia!  We then decided that it would be helpful if everyone had a particular role to play.  Here's what the kids wrote about their roles, and their plans for composting at Portarlington.

Hi my name is Jack.  My job s to survey kids about nude food and try and get kids to bring nude food more often.

Hi my name is Jackson and I'm working with Tom and we are emptying the compost into the compost bin after school and before school we clean them and put them back.

Hi I'm Charlotte and my job is to learn how to build compost bins from recycled resources from the community for our school to use.

Hi our names are Gabby and Montanna.  Our job is to go around to all the classes and speak about our project.  We also speak to teachers and parents.

And it is EVERYONE'S job to model to others about nude food and composting, and to report your stories to Millennium Kids!  Well done Portarlington.  Ingrid
