Mayor Ry Collins thought he was the one in charge – that is, until a group of sharp young minds from St Catherine's Catholic College took their seats at the boardroom table!
In a lively and inspiring meeting, a group of enthusiastic students met with the mayor to share their insights on the importance of recycling and waste reduction in the Whitsundays.
These bright young eco-warriors are leading the charge to teach adults in the community how to properly dispose of waste and reduce environmental impact.
With the help of Council’s new fleet of waste trucks, emblazoned with bright and important messages about recycling, these students are making sure no one can claim ignorance when it comes to waste management. The message is simple but powerful: Get it right, or risk being outsmarted by a group of school kids!
In a fun twist, the students challenged everyone – from residents to local leaders – to step up their recycling game and prove they can match the commitment and knowledge of these young environmental champions.
Whitsunday Regional Council expressed special thanks to their Eco Warriors at St Catherine's Catholic College, including Nakai Ngoroyemoto, Ms McQuoid-Mason, and Ms Uhl, along with JJ Richards.
Are you ready to impress these young leaders with your recycling skills? The challenge is on!
