Students Volunteer to Create Tables for the Sugarloaf Café

01.06.22

New Ecology and Sustainability Education Support Officer, Mike Jazepczyk, has worked tirelessly since the start of the term with Middle School Sustainability leaders in their recess and lunchtimes to fulfill an order for the Sugarloaf Café to remake all their tables in visually striking recycled plastic. Each of the 20 kilogram table tops contains 10,000 plastic bottle lids that the students and Mike have worked hard to sort, shred and then press. Mike comes from a long career in cabinetmaking and construction and his specific skillset has proven a vital ingredient in producing beautiful, bespoke items with students in Project Recology. Families can continue to support the program by donating their clean #2, #4 and #5 lids to the space before or during school hours. Thank you to Mike and the students for their incredible efforts and the Sugarloaf Café for supporting the program.
