Keep Australia Beautiful:
Partnership
with Myall
Park
Botanic Garden
We
are thrilled to be in partnership with the not-for-profit company Myall
Park Botanic Garden through the promotion and support of the ‘Save a
Species’ programme. Yearly we offer the opportunity to showcase this
programme to schools, and include articles about the programme, and the
Garden generally, in the email newsletters circulated to all Queensland
schools.
In
addition, we take the opportunity to discuss our educational programmes
with Dr Nita Lester along with other experts, to ensure all are
botanically correct and meeting educational guidelines. One such
programme is Green and Healthy Schools
Green
& Healthy Schools programme overview
Keep
Australia Beautiful’s Green and Healthy Schools programme is a
cutting-edge, curriculum-based programme that promotes health and the
environment through Queensland classrooms. More than 135,000 students
and their teachers from 544 schools – 31% of Queensland schools –
participate in the programme.
Green
& Healthy Schools encourages schools and their communities to
develop a green and healthy philosophy and to tackle a range of issues,
environmental protection, litter prevention, resource management, youth
initiatives, health, nutrition and fitness, and community partnerships
and action.
Schools
are provided with a comprehensive resource kit covering everything from
environmental audits to curriculum-based activities.
The program features a competition to recognise and reward Green
& Healthy endeavours.
Green
& Healthy Schools encourages schools to work at their own pace to
achieve outcomes relevant to their school and their school
community.
