Learning with Purpose

This program is designed for students and teachers at kindergartens and early childhood centres.

The kindergarten program is a hands-on, 45-minute incursion looking at compost, worm farms and recycling food waste.

Fostering Sustainability is a professional development program for teachers focused on starting a school compost bin or worm farm. This PD is linked to demystifying organics recycling on-site and pairs well with schools and ELCs that may be exploring Sustainability Victoria’s Resource Smart Schools program this year.

Sustainable Story Time is about linking families and young members of the community to the joys of both literacy and sustainability.
