Last week, Project Recology was fortunate to receive a visit from the South Australian Minister of Education, the Honourable Blair Boyer MP. Mr Boyer was excited to visit the College and Project Recology after the passion witnessed about the program by Middle School Student Environmental Leaders, Colby Ind and Louise Stanley, at the inaugural Catholic Education South Australia Awards. Colby and Louise impressed again, leading the Minister through a comprehensive tour of the workshop, hearing about our journey to date and our ambitions for the future. The Minister was also impressed with the way in which the concept of a circular economy has been interwoven into the curriculum and with the products the students were producing.

Poplars Middle students, Dusty and Timmy, confidently shared their broad knowledge of the College’s composting process, from collection to machining to bagging. Lots of work was done in the lead up to the visit and a thanks must be passed on to all students, staff and leadership members who played a key role.

The Minister is excited to stay connected with Project Recology and we look forward to demonstrating how young people can change the way our State looks at waste!
