On Sunday, 5 March, undeterred by poor weather, over 150 boys met outside Centenary Hall at 9 AM to take part in Clean Up Australia Day. From Trafalgar Street down to Addison Road, small groups of four\u00a0or five\u00a0junior boys were accompanied by a senior student in Year 11 or Year 12, picking up anything and everything that was left as trash.<\/p>\n
Personally, I found this experience to be much more interesting than that of previous years, as it was a chance to not only help out the community, but to engage with some of the younger boys while doing so. By all accounts this was a common theme amongst both the older and younger volunteers.<\/p>\n
The photo of Head Groundskeeper, Mr Doulougeris\u2019s truck, piled beyond the rim with large garbage bags paid tribute to the outstanding efforts from all the boys. It was a great event, made possible thanks to the work of both Ms Carruthers and Mr Wilkins who worked tirelessly in the days leading up to and on the day of the\u00a0cleanup. I hope the Year 12 leaders in the following year can work with the school again to help put together another wonderful day.<\/p>\n
