Sustainability at Little Schoolies
At Little Schoolies we value the importance on being sustainable and teaching children the importance of protecting and looking after the world around them. How we do this:

- Looking after our 2 chickens: feeding them and giving them water, collecting their freshly laid eggs.
- Recycling
- Compost bins
