Sacred Heart School celebrates a decade of waterwise education

Sacred Heart School in Mundaring 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 about 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 Sacred Heart 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 Sacred Heart School for your dedication to the program.”

Sacred Heart School Principal, Frances Haji-Ali, said the program educated students about how to save water.

“Being part of the Waterwise Schools Program raises student’s awareness of simple ways to make a difference to save this precious resource, both at home and here at school,” Mrs Haji-Ali 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.
