Waterwise Schools Program

For teachers

• Water education talks

The Waterwise Schools Program aims to educate students, their families and wider communities about the need to value, protect and conserve our precious water resources.

The program is a long-term, whole-of-school approach to water and education and complements the Curriculum Framework across all major learning areas, especially Society and Environment.

Most importantly, the program tackles real issues facing the community. It provides the opportunity to change students' behaviour towards the use of water so that they become responsible adults able to make informed decisions.

Some of the benefits of the program are:

• Curriculum Framework links across major learning areas
• access to tours and lectures
• a wide range of resources to encourage student involvement
• real-life learning for students
• up-to-date facts on water issues
• whole-of-school focus
• promotion of active citizenship
• community-school involvement
• positioning schools as role models in the community
• linking to the water component of the Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative WA (AuSSI-WA).
