St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Chelsea is taking part. The school’s acting principal Lisa Kniese said the school’s location by the water inspired students’ participation. “As a school community, we are very fortunate to live near waterways and the bay. We are committed to keeping these areas clean and learning more about the actions we can take each day to protect this precious resource,” Kniese said.
