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 “school in the park” 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.

Well done Mark, again
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Out and about in Eurobodalla Shire yesterday with Andrew Constance including:
✅ Speaking at a community meeting with 250+ citizens and accepting a 18,000 signature petition to take to Parliament to keep open the Batemans Bay emergency department, which the Minns Labor Government intends to close
✅ Checking (non-)progress of the new Eurobodalla Hospital announced in 2020 - still an empty paddock
✅ Checking (non-)progress on the Moruya bypass - no commitment to any timetable and no update since the 2022 consultation report under the previous government (see short video in comments below). ... See MoreSee Less
