The GTP also helps collect recyclables, such as plastics, paper, and glass, which are processed properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school\u2019s organic waste is being used in a thermal composting heap to create compost for the school\u2019s garden, which supports the school\u2019s Environmental Club\u2019s activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also contribute to the Wheelchair Project by collecting bread tags and bottle caps for wheelchairs for those in need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis initiative has captured the hearts of our learners, as they actively collect these small items, knowing the significant impact they can have on someone\u2019s life,\u201d said Daniels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo ensure everyone was on board, the prefects arranged a school assembly where they spoke to the learners, teachers, and ground staff about the importance of recycling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey explained how the process works and how every bit of effort counts toward creating a greener environment. The learners also demonstrated how organic waste is composted and how plastics, glass, and paper are sorted and disposed of properly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-assist\">Assist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cape Teaching and Leadership Institute (CTLI), located next to Rouxville Primary, took notice of their recycling programme\u2019s success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey decided to join forces with us and have become an integral part of the initiative, providing additional bins and further support. This collaboration strengthens our efforts and allows us to take the recycling programme to the next level,\u201d said Daniels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLooking ahead, we are excited to announce that we will assist fellow high schools in launching their recycling programmes, with the backing of the GTP. The GTP has also agreed to provide training to ensure the programmes run smoothly and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the support of our learners, staff, and community partners, we are making great strides toward a more sustainable future. Our recycling programme is just the beginning of a larger movement to create a positive and lasting impact on the environment, at school and beyond,\u201d Daniels said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rouxville Primary School\u2019s commitment to environmental responsibility has reached new heights with the launch of a comprehensive
