Senior pupils from Trinity Catholic College and Taieri College spent the morning helping unpack donations at Shop on Carroll as part of an Enviroschools hui yesterday.
The secondary schools hui "YOUR VOICE!" focused on turning environmental ideas into action in schools and wider communities.
Pupils spent part of their day volunteering for local community groups including Trade Aid, Yours Cafe and Stitch Kitchen before networking with each other and hearing from inspirational environmental action experts.
Trinity environment prefect Joseph Brennan said it was great volunteering at Shop on Carroll because recycling clothes was environmentally friendly, and ensured they did not get wasted.
After helping out at the shop, the pupils put some outfits together and dressed up.
Joseph’s favourite colour was green, and he found a swanky green jacket and trousers to match his green socks and green Birkenstock sandals.
Shop on Carroll co-retail manger Cristin Waite said it was a great opportunity for the pupils to understand the magnitude of an organisation like the shop.
The pupils helped the shop set up for its vintage and retro month.
