Sacred Heart College was proudly represented at the recent Riddell’s Creek Energy Expo, with our student sustainability leaders showcasing both their passion and leadership in inspiring the wider community.

Our students were outstanding ambassadors for the College, confidently engaging with members of the public and creating a vibrant, interactive space focused on sustainability and environmental action. Their enthusiasm, knowledge, and willingness to start meaningful conversations did not go unnoticed.

A highlight of the day was the ever popular “Shoot the Hoop” recycling game, where participants tested their knowledge by correctly sorting waste into the appropriate bins. This fun and energetic activity sparked great discussions about waste management and the importance of making responsible choices in our everyday lives.

Visitors also enjoyed getting hands-on by creating seed bombs, an activity that promoted biodiversity and encouraged people to think about how small actions can contribute to healthier ecosystems. It was wonderful to see participants of all ages getting involved and leaving with something they could use to make a positive impact at home.

In addition, our students led simple science experiments exploring alternative energy sources, helping to break down complex ideas into engaging and accessible learning experiences. These demonstrations opened up valuable conversations about renewable energy and the role we all play in creating a more sustainable future.

Throughout the day, our students demonstrated confidence, initiative, and a genuine commitment to caring for our common home. They embodied the Sacred Heart values of stewardship and community, showing that young people can be powerful agents of change.

We are incredibly proud of their efforts and grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an important community event.
