 "St Columba's Taking 3 for the Sea")
We celebrated the last day of term by taking ""three for the sea""!
Every child was encouraged to collect 3 pieces of rubbish on their way to school and place them in the designated bins when they arrived at the gate.
And what a haul we got!
On behalf of Port Phillip Bay, thank you to all of the students, brothers, sisters and parents that took part.
