Shire MPs Lee Evans, Eleni Petinos and Mark Speakman announced today three Shire schools would each receive a $3,500 Eco Schools Grant to encourage environmental learning opportunities for students, teachers and the school community.
School | Project |
Grays Point Public
School |
Sustainable/ecofriendly โschool in the parkโ to provide for the school canteen and local community through a community garden.
|
Waterfall Public School | Nature Inspired Learning Environment (NILE) to create several separate yet linked learning spaces, incorporating a multi-layered approach to promoting environmental and sustainability learning.
|
The Jannali High School | To construct an outdoor Eco learning area focused around teaching students the importance of sustainability and waste management. |
School children participating in these grassroots environmental projects learn skills for sustainable living and develop an appreciation for their local environment.
The program provides a hands-on, curriculum-based environmental education for students, with a focus on strong student participation. The students also learn about the importance of protecting the environment for future generations.
86 schools across NSW will share in more than $300,000 to implement local and practical environmental education initiatives through the 2018 round of the Eco Schools Grant Program.

Natural๐ฟremedies do work. If they didn't, we wouldn't have used them for thousands of years. And, pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be studying plants, taking extracts of them, and patenting them as drugs.this is not a claim or lies I was totally cured from a deadly disease and neuropathy by Herbalist His remedy is surely the best.

Thanks for visiting - it was a pleasure having you meet the locals.
Hi Mark, very disappointing to see you let down your federal counterparts for no good reason. You say Australia can't wait for nuclear power,when Australia emits a immaterial 1%of the earth s carbon. A zero net Australia will change nothing. So why would you do what you did?

Gymea Bay Baths are a magical spot - but now increasingly afflicted by water pollution and litter, including because of the huge growth in its popularity as a fishing spot.

Have the fisheries look into if it is truely a king fish breeding ground. If so, ban it!
Undersized fish being taken there daily and contact with fisheries results in 0 action. The place is always covered in fish guts and garbage relying on locals to clean up tourists mess.
