sustainable futures

‘The sustainables’ are an exciting group of students at Port Fairy Consolidated Primary School are committed to the environment.  They currently run an earth credits program that assists others to be eco freindly in energy efficiency, wise waste and run exciting environmental theme days. 

The sustainables are true environmental leaders.  Each week earth credit points are given out to encourage environmentally sensitive practices.  The focus is on waste this term and the students have Eco and Neco to help encourage other students too be earth wise . 

 Eco and neco two are gnomes that are awarded to the grades with the most earth credit points.  Eco and neco are custodians of great earth caring works.  they are prized and celebrate with an end of term eco-party.

 Keep up the good work kids,

On Tuesday 6th May, 21 students travelled to Mailor’s Flat to assist in a revegetation project to save the critically endangered OBP. There are less than two hundred individual birds left in the wild and they are endemic to south-eastern Australia, migrating from Tasmania to the Victorian and South Australian coast each winter . The revegetation program aims to provide habitat for roosting and for food plants, which will increase the OBP chances of survival. Students were able to separate seedlings of woolly tea tree and messmate plants and re-pot 3,000 plants. Further information about the OBP can be found here.
