"The Reef Guardians have been working tirelessly all year to reduce waste entering our waterways. Each Friday, members of the Reef Guardian Service Group roll up their sleeves to collect, wash, sort, and recycle used poppers, milk and juice bottles, and cans. It’s not always the cleanest job, but their dedication is making a real difference to our school’s commitment as a proud Reef Guardian school and stewards of this land. Along the way, students learn practical ways to protect marine life such as cutting the plastic rings from bottles to prevent them from becoming dangerous traps for animals. Beyond their weekly recycling efforts, the Reef Guardians are also active educators. Through posters and other creative resources, they raise awareness and help the Containers for Change program run smoothly for our whole school community."
