Objects of Substance - Recycled pens

Recycled pens and carabiners.

Principal, Ms Jacinda Euler Welsh, believes: “Design is a subject at the interface of so many fundamentally important learnings in a Girls Grammar education. It provides an avenue for understanding some of the most significant issues of our times, exciting opportunities to make a tangible contribution through creative solutions, and an exciting, empowering experience for our students that shapes how they see themselves in the world and their potential influence.” How neatly does the Precious Plastic initiative at Girls Grammar exemplify this philosophy. Employing a circular design approach, it is a practical and hands-on application of sustainability. This initiative exemplifies how principles of design can underscore the importance of considering the entire lifespan of products, be they pens or carabiners. The possibilities appear endless.
