Big thank you to the Eco Club for their donation of HDPE plastics. We can’t wait to get them all melted down and turned into some cool projects. Our Year 8’s will be investigating just how usable recycled HDPE is over the next few weeks, stay tuned 👀

We need your help!

Bring in any plastic that has the 'HDPE 2' symbol. Look out for it in bottles and bottle caps.

There will be a drop off point in all TD rooms for the plastic. Please clean and remove all labels from the plastic!

We are going to use it for pupil projects!
