A group of Year 1 students from St James Catholic School in Coorparoo recently embarked on an educational excursion to the TOMRA West End Recycling Centre.
The visit aimed to foster a deeper understanding of recycling and the circular economy.
A particular highlight of the tour was the opportunity to interact with the innovative Tip n’ Go machines. These machines, designed to streamline the container return process, allow users to tip a bag of containers into a large opening, eliminating manual sorting.
The students were captivated by the technology and the efficiency of the process. One student expressed excitement about the quick and easy process, while another was fascinated by the ability to watch the machine sort each container on a screen.
The Year 1 teacher, Miss Ashleigh Hogan, praised the experience, noting that it provided a valuable opportunity to connect classroom learning to real-world applications.
The visit to the recycling centre was seen as a fun and engaging way to instil a sense of environmental responsibility in the young students.
