Pupils putting colour into recycling moves
YOUNGSTERS at a Doncaster school have come up with litter-busting ideas to impress experts.
Pupils from St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Rossington won a competition to design a system to persuade people not to drop litter outside fast food restaurants and to help customers and staff to separate waste for recycling.
Students from eight Doncaster schools went head-to-head in the contest organised by Business and Education South Yorkshire.
Staff from McDonald's joined them at the final, held at McAuley Lower School, Cantley.
Judges from the Doncaster business community assessed the practicality, creativity, impact and effectiveness of the prototypes.
The winning team, Green Peace Girls from St Joseph's, was made up of Year Six pupils Enya Samways, Bronagh Gunn, Alex Charlesworth, Stephanie Gillespie and Anneka Needham who designed a colour-coded waste recycling bin .
Schools taking part in the challenge were McAuley Catholic High School, Cantley; Holy Family RC Primary School, Stainforth; St Joseph and St Teresa Primary School, Woodlands; St Patrick's Catholic Primary School, Harworth; St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Rossington; St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Retford; St Peter's Catholic Primary School, Doncaster, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel RC Primary School, Intake.
