Looking to engage students and reduce litter at your school?
Many schools experience difficulties managing litter and recognise the importance of a clean and healthy environment. Educating students about the effects of litter and influencing beliefs and attitudes are key steps towards behaviour change and litter reduction in the community as a whole.
The Clean Schools program aims at changing the littering behaviour of students through a whole school approach to litter prevention and a range of resources to help.
Free resources available to all schools in Western Australia include:
FREE PL sessions for primary and secondary schools are available. In house and online training provides a step-by-step process on how to run the Clean Schools program with personalised support from the Clean Schools Coordinator.
As an added incentive, Keep Australia Beautiful Council offers a half-day teacher relief subsidy for up to two teachers per school to attend.
