CONTAINERS FOR CHANGE
The student council of GSSHS are collecting used containers to help raise funds for school benefit through Containers for Change.
Containers for Change is a state-wide recycling scheme that enables charities and community groups who participate in the scheme to fundraise for their cause.
Every eligible container collected is worth 10 cents, which can really add up! So we are asking students’ parents if they could also save their containers to be collected and donated to our school.
If we could ask you to please save your containers, and bring them cleaned to our school so that we can place them in our school Container for Change bins, which would be awesome!!
Thanks very much for your help (and containers),
GSSHS Student Council

Calling all Urban Artists
This is an opportunity for our creative young people to put their skills on display. There is existing graffiti at the location and we to want to replace it with fresh new pieces from our young people in the Town.
The site is next to the train tracks along Success Hill station and these pieces will be seen by the millions of commuters each year along the Midland line. (see attached).
Work will be done on primed marine ply boards. The Town will deliver the boards to participants to be worked on and once complete, the Town will come and collect the boards. They will then have anti-graffiti coating applied and will be mounted at the location.
Up to $350 will be provided per person for materials.
This project is funded by Lotterywest and the Office of Crime Prevention and will cover 20 boards.
Location: Along the footpath between Railway Parade and the river in Success Hill (pic attached)
Size: 2.4m x 1.2m (marine ply boards.)
Criteria
· Young person (under 25)
· Please provide examples of past work
· Basic sketch of your idea
We won’t be accepting lettering or stylised words, as these
are often seen by the general public in illegal settings, and we want to separate this project from that perception.
Proposals can’t be controversial in any way so protest pieces, violence or images that are sexually explicit won’t be accepted.
