CUT THE WRAP

On Monday 31 July, our CUT THE WRAP initiative will recommence for Year 7 students.

Lunchboxes will be inspected during the Wellbeing period on a weekly basis (with the exclusion of the last week of each term).

CUT THE WRAP PROCEDURES & REWARDS

Students presenting a “plastic wrap free” lunch will be rewarded with a credit stamp.

Classes with 100% participation (on any given week) will be awarded a second credit stamp (each student).

Note: A canteen order or money for the canteen, does NOT qualify as a wrap free lunch.

END OF TERM REWARD

The class with the highest level of participation for a given term (provided they reach a minimum of 100 participants) will receive an Eddie Coin. Note, the number of coins distributed will be determined by the highest number of participants in a given week for that term.
