When it comes to recycling, orange<br />
is the new black, but are you feeding<br />
<strong>your</strong> orange bag with the correct<br />
materials?<br />
You can only recycle plastic bottles<br />
(eg squash, fizzy drink and water,<br />
detergent, shampoo, plastic milk<br />
bottles) in <strong>your</strong> orange bag. Yoghurt<br />
pots and lids, margarine tubs, plastic<br />
meat trays, cling film and plastic<br />
bags cannot be recycled in <strong>your</strong><br />
orange bag because they are made<br />
from inferior plastics.<br />
You can collect more orange bags<br />
from <strong>your</strong> Local Service Centre (LSC)<br />
or library. If you are disabled or have<br />
a physical impairment and cannot<br />
get to <strong>your</strong> LSC or library you can<br />
ask for more bags to be sent to <strong>your</strong><br />
home by calling 020 8430 2000.<br />

top marks for NewVIc<br />
A good report is winging its way to<br />
<strong>Newham</strong> Sixth Form College (NewVIc)<br />
after inspectors were impressed with its<br />
work with students.<br />
NewVIc’s latest Ofsted inspection<br />
praised its “outstanding response to<br />
the needs and interests of learners”,<br />
which enables students to achieve and<br />
progress.<br />
The college’s strong links with<br />
schools and community organisations<br />
were also praised as “outstanding<br />
and highly productive” and the report<br />
highlighted how much students enjoy<br />
life at NewVIc.<br />
Artistic pupils who tasted the art and<br />
architecture of Oxford and Cambridge<br />
as part of the <strong>Newham</strong> Primary Gifted<br />
and Talented scheme have created<br />
permanent reminders of their visit.<br />
Pupils from Selwyn and Kaizen<br />
primary schools have painted large<br />
scale canvases based on their own<br />
sketches of the chapels, colleges and<br />
museums they visited on their Gifted<br />
and Talented art residential trip.<br />

“This is something <strong>Newham</strong> needs to<br />
be proud of,” said Plaistow South ward<br />
councillor, Graham Lane, who was a<br />
governor at the college for 10 years.<br />
“In my opinon, NewVIc is probably<br />
one of the best sixth form colleges in<br />
the country. It offers all sorts of courses<br />
and is outstanding in sport, art, dance,<br />
international links and music. This<br />
report reflects that and the hard work of<br />
staff and students.”<br />
NewVIc has three sites including the<br />
campus on Prince Regent Lane. For<br />
