Show and Tell: School Items Swap and Share Programs

Victorian schools are leading the way working towards circularity by organising activities such as a stationery drive to donate products, a bicycle repair workshop, and a second-hand uniform online shop.

In this Show and Tell we’ll hear from:

Albion Primary School and their Recycle Shop – a swap program for the school community that includes books, clothes and toys
Overnewton Anglican Community College and their Party Kit – a borrowing program that's part of the Party Kit Network, offering school families and the wider community reusable items for hosting parties without relying on single-use plastics.

Join Marita Ryan, Albion Primary School’s Physical Education and Sustainability leader and Stephanie Mitten, Coordinator of Overnewton Anglican Community College's Parent Sustainability Group to learn about:

The Recycle Shop – including details on its implementation through tokens and how it transitioned from a stand-alone event to a biannual mini-store run by students, parents, and teachers.
The Party Kit initiative, including details on how it's managed and its benefits.
Albion Primary Schools and Overnewton Anglican Community College's wins and challenges fostering sustainable practices.
