Sustainable Schools Program

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—I congratulate the recipients of the NSW Government's Sustainable Schools Program in my electorate of North Shore. This program provides schools with the opportunity to engage students in developing a hands-on project, while learning about environmentally sustainable practices. Beauty Point Public School secured funding for their 'Native Flora and Fauna' project, which will see the research, design and creation of gardens to promote native flora and fauna. Middle Harbour Public School was successful in securing funding for their 'Middle Harbour Hive of Activity Project' which will create outdoor habitats for local wildlife, and set up bee hives as part of the schools learning program. Mosman Public School secured funding for their project 'Mother Nature's nurturers' that involves various environmental and sustainable initiatives involving students from years 3-6. In addition, North Sydney Boys High School was successful in securing funding for 'The Learning and Wellbeing Gardens of NSB' that will see the creation of a multipurpose garden to encourage environmentally sustainable practices. Congratulations to these schools on taking up the mantle of environmental sustainability, and I look forward to seeing the completed projects benefit these schools.
