NSW Schools Go Eco

The students at the Kirrawee Public School are using their $2,500 grant from the Eco Schools Program in 2010 to regenerate some of the school grounds to a more natural state.  They are germinating their own seeds and then planting out the seedlings, whilst tabulating and making graphs of their growth patterns.  Students get the opportunity to see first hand the reestablishment of the native bushland in their own school grounds and to observe the ecosystem that this creates.

The NSW Environmental Trust is calling for applications from Schools for the 2011 round of the Eco Schools Program. The $2,500 grants can help develop environmentally sustainable schools in four broad areas:

1. Broaden students knowledge towards environmental sustainability for them to improve the quality of the school and local environment
2. To enable project related professional learning for teachers to assist them to assimilate school environmental management projects
3. School development and management through a whole of school approach to sustainable management
4. Environmental concerns and priorities addressed to improve the quality of the local environment

Applications close on 20 May 2011 for Schools looking to fund environmental management projects
