Water Aware

 Water Aware  is a dynamic program that has run in the South Gippsland Region over the past five years.

 Water Aware is free of charge to your school through South Gippsland Water and the Smart Water Fund.

Water Aware is not all about water conservation; the program gives an extensive overview of the whole water picture in your local community - including where it comes from, water quality, commercial and rural water use and where it goes. Information is delivered with the support of agencies including Catchment Management Authority, South Gippsland Shire, and local major industry.

Water Aware feed back includes comments such as “Our students enjoyed the experience it; it was extremely well organised and beneficial. I can’t think of any improvements!  Well done Kath and Ros!
 – Mark Hunter Loch Primary School

Focusing on school leaders, year five to year eight, selected students attend a two day activities workshop, be involved in two follow up sessions and finally present their program at a gala a presentation evening.

Activities are designed around the VELS curriculum and promote leadership skills, planning, information technology, working in teams, community appreciation and building on relationships with community organizations.
