Holy Cross students recognised in Parliament for efforts to ban plastic bottles

11 Dec 2017

Team Infinity
Team Infinity’s Radin Gharavi, Dana Gharavi, James Hanlon, Maverick Phoonsiri, Eric Burakowski and Ella Burakowski.

 

It's not every day you local Federal member gets up and tells everyone how good you are!

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.

See Michelle Rowland’s comments regarding Holy Cross about 30 seconds into the attached video clip.


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.

Read about Team Infinity’s success in FIRST LEGO League national championships.

    May is the month of Mary. During this month, we honour Mary, the mother of our Saviour, and seek her prayers for the world. Today, our Year 6 iHelp students led a decade of the rosary and reflected on the Joyful Mysteries. Students asked for Mother Mary to pray for the upcoming Conclave. Students in Years 3 to 6 are welcome to join in praying the Rosary on Mondays at lunchtime, during the month of May.

A huge THANK YOU to Mr Wilkinson who visited our Year 4 students today for their remembrance of ANZAC day. Mr Wilkinson shared his experiences in the Vietnam War and the students asked very thoughtful and respectful questions. He concluded with a very powerful message: to show love, respect, kindness, and empathy towards one another.

The Stations of the Cross is a special form of prayer which helps us reflect on Jesus’ suffering and death and ultimately his love for us ✝️ We too can carry crosses in our lives, and it is through Jesus that we find the strength to make things better for ourselves and for others ❤️
