Time: 9:00am – 3.00pm

Venue: South Kalgoorlie Primary School, 42 Lionel St, Kalgoorlie

Join WasteSorted Schools to learn how our program can support your school's journey to reducing waste. You will have opportunities to explore activities aimed at embedding organics learning into curriculum, strategies for avoiding single-use plastics and be shown systems that work in regional schools.

Specifically, we will explore:

• hands-on Worm & Compost curriculum resources for primary and high school
• how to set up whole school systems, e.g. waste-free lunches, green canteens and plastic-free campaigns
• ways to change student & staff behaviours.

We will also hear about support from our wider community and be given time to plan actions together.

Our host, South Kalgoorlie Primary School, will also take us on a short tour of their school, highlighting the projects and infrastructure they have implemented.

The workshop is suitable for primary and secondary school staff, including teachers, principals, administration staff and parents.

The workshop is FREE and teacher relief payments are available for TWO staff from each school.
