Ashdale Primary School celebrates a decade of waterwise education

Ashdale Primary School in Darch celebrated 10 years participating in Water Corporation’s Waterwise Schools Program at a special assembly today.

Over the last decade teachers at the school have been educating students on the need to value, protect and conserve water resources.

Water Corporation General Manager Customer and Community Group, David Juers, thanked the school for sharing the waterwise message.

“In our drying climate it’s important the next generation are aware of how precious water is and Ashdale Primary School has been sharing this message for 10 years,” Mr Juers said.

"Students are the water users of the future, so it is vital teachers continue to educate students about the value of water. 

“Thank you to students and teachers at Ashdale Primary School for your dedication to the program.”

Ashdale Primary School’s students said they were now aware of how to save water at school and at home to help the environment.

The Waterwise Schools Program takes a long-term approach to water education and behavioural change, and complements the curriculum across all major learning areas.
