Bucklands Beach Intermediate’s [BBI] community service Leos – linked to service group the Lions] took on a beach clean-up at Eastern Beach.
The student group went along with Leos lead teacher Nicola Reid, teacher aide Jayne Catford and student teacher Andrew Lee, last week walking from BBI to nearby Eastern Beach hunting for litter.
“We were all amazed at how very clean our nearest beach was,” said Reid.
“We had to scour the beach for our rubbish finds. It was a fabulously sunny winter’s day and, as we enjoyed the weather, we all pondered on when we could return for another clean-up.
“We were all thinking about rubbish that is usually present at beaches in the summertime like iceblock wrappers and sticks.
The groups other initiatives include collecting books for Women’s Refuge, stationery collections for Pacific Island schools, crocheting blankets and projects for the SPCA.
