Roseworth Primary School celebrates a decade of waterwise education

Roseworth Primary School in Girrawheen celebrated 10 years enrolled 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, Catherine Ferrari, 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 Roseworth Primary School has been sharing this message for 10 years,” Ms Ferrari 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 Roseworth Primary School for your dedication to the program.”

Roseworth Primary School’s Deputy Principal, Sue Brockman, said the program educated students about waterwise behaviours.

“The Waterwise Schools Program has helped to educate our students about water so that they have the knowledge and skills to make sound water management decisions in the future,” Ms Brockman said.

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