The East Waste Schools Program provides an opportunity to learn about sustainability through creative and hands-on experiences relating to waste management. KESAB will work with a school from each Council, developing and delivering tailored activities including:
- Wipe Out Waste audit and re-audit
- Staff professional development
- Tailored sessions to support conscious behaviours
- Student-produced video for community education
Student-produced Video
As part of the program, students are challenged to create a short video (may be in the form of a song, rap, poem or play) to reflect learnings and engage the wider community. The site is expected to support student-led video creation, with guidance provided by KESAB.
Parental consent is required for videos to be shared publicly.
