Schools Clean Up Day

The next Schools Clean up Day will be held on 27th February 2009.

Since 1992 children all around Australia have turned out in their hundreds of thousands to help Clean Up Australia.

Schools' Clean Up Day is specifically designed to allow students to participate in Clean Up Australia as part of a school activity.

It's a great way for students of all ages to learn about how to reduce the impact of waste on our environment and make a real difference in their local community.
