Kiama High is set to star in the season return of the ABC’s influential War on Waste.

The series’ presenter, Craig Reucassel, told The Bugle that as a father of teenagers he was interested to see how the students would react to the challenge.

“They seemed to get into it and certainly look like they are going to keep it going,” he said.

“As with doing anything differently, the hardest part is the initial change. Once it becomes the norm it becomes easy.

“I think they have shown that they can make a big improvement in reducing landfill by making simple changes.”

Craig hopes their efforts will inspire high schools across Australia to do the same.

Details: The new series starts Tuesday July 24, 8.30pm and runs for three weeks. It will also be available on iview
