Waste Free Lunch


Every Thursday Glen Huntly Primary School takes part in a Waste Free Lunch organized by the Junior School Council. Each grade records the number of students who bring along a waste free lunch and then Mr Vic Thompson calculates it as a percentage.

This week's winners are Prep F!

Congratulations to Prep F who are this week's winners of the Golden Lunch Box Award for having the highest number of students with a waste free lunch. Their score was 91%. A certificate will be presented to Prep F at next Monday’s Assembly.

Federal Government’s Community Water Grants

Glen Huntly Primary School has benefited from the Australian Government's $50,000 Community Water Grant which has been used to install three tanks to harvest rainwater to flush the toilets on the East and West Sites of the school.
Thank you to Storm water Preservation for installing our tanks and pumping system.
