WHOLE SCHOOL: DID SOMEONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD GET A NEW PHONE RECENTLY?
Wondering what to do with old phones? Help Sustainable Coastlines look after NZ’s coastlines and

phones it is time for a new multi award winning NZ charity - Sustainable Coastlines to benefit from this
scheme. It would be great if you could rummage around in your drawers and toy boxes and bring into School any
unwanted mobile phones you may have. Phones collected help our School gain valuable rewards and also the
environment benefits by keeping our landfills free of mobile phones and their array of hazardous toxic substances.
Please bring them to school to room D14 and put them in the collection box on the teacher desk. Thanks!
