On Wednesday 18 June, Earth Club held a bake sale to raise money for the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. This organisation helps protect the reef from things like coral bleaching and pollution, and we wanted to do something to support that.
Earth Club is a group of students who care about the environment and want to take real action. We meet every Wednesday at lunchtime to talk about the changes we want to see and how we can help. Sometimes we even write letters to members of parliament to make our voices heard. We always welcome new members, anyone who wants to help the environment is welcome.
I’ve always been passionate about the environment. I’ve loved being outside, around animals and the water, ever since I was little. To me, the environment means life. Without it, there would be no Earth.
If there’s one message I could share with everyone, it’s this: stand up for what you believe in and try to make a difference, even in small ways. Something as simple as planting a tree can make a big impact — that tree might become a home for animals or help clean the air. Every action counts.
We’d also like to say a big thank you to Mrs Oates Pryor for supporting Earth Club and helping us with the setup of the bake sale. We were so excited to raise $445.65! I’m proud of what we achieved, and I hope it inspires others to get involved too.
