THE Atholl Heights Primary School Eco-Team proudly took part in the DSW Recycling Competition recently, competing alongside approximately 64 other schools in a shared effort to promote environmental responsibility and sustainability.

The competition challenged schools to collect and recycle as much paper, plastic and tin waste as possible.

With enthusiastic support from learners and staff across the school, Atholl Heights recycled almost three tons of waste.
