These schools model responsible environmental behaviours through hands-on learning experiences that are linked to the Australian Curriculum.
Waste Wise Schools is a program of the Waste Authority and offers resources and support for schools to plan, implement and maintain waste minimising projects such as recycling, composting and worm farming.
The program helps schools to set up infrastructure and provides resources aimed at changing attitudes and behaviour in regard to sustainable waste management.
The program is FREE and available to all schools in Western Australia.
Information in this section of the Authority's website is primarily aimed at teachers but does cater for students. You can contact the Waste Wise coordinator on 64675167 or email wastewise@der.wa.gov.au. You can also check out our facebook page...
