In a recent initiative led by Redhill School’s Grade 11 environmental committee, learners significantly contributed to environmental conservation efforts this year through two major river clean-ups.
These clean-ups, which were held at the Field and Study Centre and Ernest Ullman Park, have not only revitalised local green spaces but have also provided learners with the opportunity to earn community service hours.
Adding to their environmental efforts, the Grade 11 environmental committee is spearheading a drive to collect dog and cat food for Woodrock Animal Rescue.
According to Executive Head Joseph Gerassi, this initiative showcases the committee’s passion for supporting organisations that make a lasting impact in the city.
“Through their remarkable ability to mobilise the entire Redhill learners and parent body, these students demonstrated how collective action extends beyond environmental clean-ups to include support for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Gerassi added that the Redhill community continues to set a precedent for environmental care, demonstrating that collective action can forge a lasting legacy of respect and preservation for our natural world.
“The efforts of the Grade 11 environmental committee and all participating staff and students stand as a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together to make a difference. Their work with Woodrock Animal Rescue is another example of their outstanding commitment to leaving people, places, and spaces better than they found them.”
