Forty three masks, 0.6 kilograms of lolly wrappers and 204 pieces of paper and cardboard - tallied the efforts of seven classes at Huonville High School on its annual School Clean Up Day on Friday, March 4.

The clean up, organised by the Zayed Huon Energy Futures Team, led to students picking up rubbish around the school area before tallying the results of their findings to see just what kind of rubbish was being left around the school.

Some students expressed their surprise at how much and what was collected, with most surprised at the amount of masks collected around the school as well as how many uneaten and still wrapped food items were left in the school yard.
