Holy Cross Primary was mentioned in Parliament this week by Michelle Rowland, recognising the wonderful work of a student from Year 4 and a student from Year 6 who have been examining the problems of plastic pollution in our environment and have been campaigning to curb the use of water bottles in Australia.

Team Infinity from Holy Cross Primary School have recently participated in the FIRST LEGO League program, working on a Lego robotics program to raise awareness about plastic bottle usage. As part of their project, students Ella & Eric Burakowski shared with Michelle Rowland some concerning plastic bottled water facts.
- It takes 40,000 barrels of oil to make plastic water bottles for the whole of Australia
- It takes three litres of water and one litre of oil to make one plastic water bottle
- It can cost $2.50 to make one litre of plastic bottled water.
Team Infinity has been trying to reach out to organisations (who are the main consumer of plastic water bottles), sharing their concerns and alternative solutions such as composting, recycling projects and using portable water stations from Sydney Water which are free to hire.

The iHelp Group has been busy sorting out all of the Vinnies Winter Appeal donations from our school community and packing countless snack packs. Some Year 3 and Year 4 iHelp representatives helped deliver the food donations this week to the Vinnies Services Van in Greystanes and the winter woolies to the Vinnies Support Centre in Blacktown. They witnessed dedicated volunteers working hard to help people in need in our community. All your generous donations allows them to do this. Together, we're helping to bring warmth and support to those who need it most this winter. Vinnies NSW NSW Vinnies Youth Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
