Waste Wise Schools Workshops
Workshops are free and we offer teacher relief payments. Check the events page or contact the Waste Wise team at wastewise@dwer.wa.gov.au for upcoming workshop dates.
Introductory sessions and webinars
This workshop provides an introduction to waste issues, school case studies and training on setting up a whole school approach to waste minimisation and education.
We encourage more than one representative from each school to complete the professional learning together. Teachers, principals, registrars, cleaners, gardeners, canteen managers, parents/guardians, members of the P&C or any other school staff are welcome.
Workshops are held throughout the year in both metropolitan and regional areas. The webinars allow regional schools to access information when a workshop is not available in your area. These are free and a contribution toward teacher relief is provided, where possible, to facilitate
