Can your school go the Eggstra mile this Easter and win the Easter Egg Waste Recycling Challenge?
It’s that time of year again, where we all receive lots of shiny chocolate eggs in lots of plastic and cardboard packaging - but how do you dispose of yours?
Lots of the foil, plastic and cardboard boxes will often end up in our landfill sites – this year Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is calling on all our schools to take up the Easter Egg Waste Challenge and have a greener Easter by recycling all their unwanted packaging (No chocolate though please).
The Council is encouraging all schools to get involved - the challenge is easy, simply collect as much of the foil, plastic or cardboard packaging as possible and the school with the highest recycling to pupil ratio wins the competition.
Prizes on offer -
First Prize £300
Second Prize £100
Third Prize £50
Please collect all items in normal clear recycling bags; closing date for the competition is Friday 6th May 2022.
A big thank you to everyone who donated to the Ukraine appeal at Pontrhondda Primary School.
The total amount raised was £224.55.
The money raised helped the school purchase therapeutic resources for the families of Ukraine as part of the Save The Children Ukraine Appeal.
Gabrielle a finalist in the Miss Wales 2022 competition also visited Pontrhondda to collect the resources as part of her charity work.
Without your help this would not have been possible.
Well Done Pontrhondda Primary School!
