Senior School Composting ASA
This week, we are excited to highlight one of our flourishing Service & Sustainability Initiatives: The Senior School Composting Club.
The club has been buzzing with energy and purpose lately, as our students come together to take practical action towards sustainability on campus. The club focuses on reducing food waste by collecting organic waste from designated areas of the school and turning it into nutrient-rich compost that can be reused in our gardens. It is a wonderful progression from our Year 4 garden and takes that important sense of connection with nature through into our Senior School.
Through hands-on activities, students learn about the science behind composting, including decomposition, soil health, and the role of microorganisms in creating sustainable systems. Members work collaboratively to sort waste, manage compost bins, and monitor progress, developing responsibility, teamwork, and environmental awareness in the process.
Recent success has been the growth of a number of herb plants, such as Thai Basil, grown from seed in the compost that students have generated through the club.
Beyond the practical skills, the Composting Club encourages students to think critically about consumption and waste, and to consider how small, consistent actions can have a meaningful impact. This term, students have also taken on a leadership role by running composting sessions for the staff marketplace, sharing their knowledge and promoting sustainable practices beyond the classroom. By modelling environmentally responsible habits and engaging the wider school community, the club is helping to build a culture of sustainability across campus.
We look forward to highlighting more of our Service and Sustainability ASA initiatives in future issues of Lion’s Roar.
Thank you for your compassion and support.
The Service & Sustainability team
