Northern Rivers Green Innovation Awards

Ten passionate environmentalists from Stages 2 and 3 won the Primary School category of the 2019 Northern Rivers Green Innovation Awards with their idea to collect and use grey water from our bubblers around the school. 

The Green Innovation Awards is an annual award that recognises and celebrates the sustainability innovations of young people. This year primary and secondary schools were asked to offer their ideas in Waste Management, Water Management, Building and Packaging Materials or Biofuels and Renewable Energy. 

Twenty students from our school entered four ideas into the competition and one of those ideas was invited to the finals day to present the idea to a panel of judges. Our students did a fabulous job in putting together a movie to demonstrate their innovation and answering judges questions on the day.

Well done to all other entrants and especially, Tregeagle Public School for being awarded the 2019 Encouragement Award and St John's College Woodlawn, the 2019 High School winners.

The next step is to make the student's idea a reality. If we have any plumbers in our school community who would like to offer their expertise please contact Megan Bennett through the school office.
