WORDS: Carole-Lee Gordon, Founder, BIN SHIFT

Over the years we have seen amazing results in waste reduction, none more so than Elizabeth Grove Primary School (EGPS) in 2020. EGPS engaged BIN SHIFT to implement the colour-coded bins, customised with the school logo, across the entire campus. BIN SHIFT facilitated an assembly presentation, staff presentation and resource recovery workshops for each year level to provide the underpinning knowledge necessary to ensure a successful implementation of the new bin system. After six months of use, the results were staggering! The school recorded an incredible 87% reduction in materials being sent to landfill, making them the second lowest school site KESAB has completed a bin audited for in 15 years.

EGPS are not alone, since 2018, BIN SHIFT bins have been installed in primary and secondary schools across Australia, inspiring hundreds of students to SHIFT waste disposal habits from unsustainable to sustainable. We offer an indoor solution to separate your waste and recycling at the exact moment it matters; when the material is in your hand and ready for a bin.

At BIN SHIFT we turn rubbish bins into environmental wins! Are you ready to make the SHIFT?

The year 1982 was one of big thinking and big ideas. Steven Spielberg’s E.T was a worldwide hit in movie theatres, Advance Australia Fair replaced God Save The Queen as our national anthem, blue eyeshadow and shoulder pads were in and the controversial breakfast spread Vegemite, turned 60. So why the nostalgic recap? Well, there was another big thinking idea taking shape in Aberfoyle Park during this time, with the opening of a new schooling set up.

Why stepping outside the classroom matters more than ever in middle school

July 16, 2025

It happens in a moment. A student halfway up a rock face pauses, frozen by fear and doubt. Below, an instructor calmly encourages: “Take a breath, look around, and take the next step.” The student exhales, refocuses, and reaches the top—exhausted, but transformed. These quiet turning points—part challenge, part breakthrough—are common in outdoor education. And for students in the middle years of schooling, they’re more than just powerful memories. They’re moments of growth.
