Student’s from St Clare's Catholic School in Burdell have won the national school initiative Big Battery Challenge for 2022, launched by Stockland and in partnership with The National Theatre for Children (NTC). 

They have won $1,000 for their efforts diverting over 3,000 kilograms of batteries from landfill and preventing hazardous environmental waste in the last year.
