National Water Week 2010

During October 2010 we participated in a range of activities during the annual National Water Week. 

Mallee Environmental Schools Festival

On Thursday 14th October 2010, we participated in the fourth MESF to be held in the region.  The 2010 event welcomed approximately 500 students ranging from prep to year 6, accompanied by teachers, assistants and parents to take part in the hands-on workshops, through which the groups rotated during the sessions.  The event this year was held at the Mildura Show on the free entry for students day.

The activities focused on broad areas of sustainability with local relevance. Our activity was centre on the underground pipe system that supplies potable water to urban homes and the treatment process involved for generating potable drinking water.

Poster Competition

We promoted the annual poster competition themed ‘Save our most precious resource’. Students ranging from prep to year 6 from schools around the region participated in the competition, with local winners selected to participate in the state competition in Melbourne. As per of the National Water Week poster competition, we produced a calendar from the local winning artwork, with the calendars made available to schools and the public.
