The annual program supports school based projects that demonstrate environmental sustainability principles, foster whole of school engagement and target behaviour change for sustainability.
“Children not only learn important lessons about biodiversity, protecting our land and waterways and the impacts of climate change in the classroom but schools also offer students hands-on experience in implementing sustainability projects,” Mayor Tsirekas said.
“We are proud to support school initiatives that embed sustainable practices into learning environments by funding green projects that benefit both the school and broader community.”
Past initiatives funded via the grants program have included garden bed planting, weed eradication, new bike racks, worm farms and establishing a garden using recycled coffee cups.
