Hello St Catherine’s Families,

We’re excited to share that the Year 12 students from OLSH VM, together with the Year 6 leaders at St Catherine’s, are launching the Container Deposit Scheme as a fundraiser to support new playground equipment for our school. This initiative is also part of the House competition!

How does it work?

You have two easy options:

1. At School – Bring in your uncrushed and rinsed cans and drop them into your house-coloured bin, located near the office entrance.
2. At a Collection Point – Take your cans and bottles directly to a Container Deposit location, such as South Rd, Moorabbin or the Waves carpark.
   Simply use the code, by selecting 'enter zone id' c2000057651

You can also spread the word—grandparents, neighbours, and friends are welcome to donate too! Just forward this information to them so they can help support our cause.

We’ll be sharing more details soon, but in the meantime, start collecting those eligible cans and bottles. If every student donates just 6 items a week for 10 weeks, we could raise around $500!

Thank you for your support!
