Bottle Return Bins
In partnership with our local Emerald SES, Emerald Secondary has been provided with two bins in which to deposit 10c refundable cans, bottles, and small cardboard drink containers as part of Victoria’s container deposit scheme. Regulations for acceptable items are listed on the bins. Right now, there is one at the Canteen and one at A block near the main office. SES will pick them up when full and we will share the proceeds. Students are encouraged to use them whenever possible. The money will go directly back into school programs.
Year 12 Chemistry students experiment with combustion of different fuels to study their energy content and efficiencies
Year 11 Biology has been studying bodily transport systems in plants and animals.
Students compared and contrasted the way water and nutrients move up the xylem of celery to how blood and oxygen move around a mammalian body with a rat dissection.
