International Composting Awareness Week 1-7 May 2011

International Composting Awareness Week is a week of activities, events and publicity to improve awareness about the importance of this valuable organic resource and to promote compost use, knowledge and products.

We are very proud of All Hallows Parish School's waste management which incorporates composting and worm farming. Our composting and worm farming area within the school is very impressive - Food scraps of children, staff, canteen and OOSH are used and managed by the students on a daily basis to produce compost and reduce the waste that would otherwise contribute to landfill.  Once decomposed we use the compost in our Parish vegie gardens.

Over time, we hope to educate and  inspire all school families and parishioners to implement composting systems in their home environment.
