7 R’s of Sustainability
“The concept of sustainability is fundamental for students to understand the ways environmental, social and economic systems interact to support and maintain human life. The curriculum also provides students with the opportunity to participate creatively and to see themselves as having the capacity to act in ways that will help to establish more sustainable ways of living.” - Victorian Curriculum.
The human race has been the cause of many detrimental impacts towards our wildlife and environments, through poor waste management and decision making in regards to sustainability. We need to come together and pull our socks up and create a better world for our future generations, especially through education.
In this conservation class students will be able to interact with some of our unique wildlife, and come to understand how various waste items can impact both the environment and the longevity of a species. The class will also involve a creative group activity where students will separate different waste items, and then use the items in a fun sorting game.
The activities will be adjusted to suit each learning level.
