Environment: creating a sustainable planet

Campus Kindergarten actively promotes conservation and encourages children and families to protect the environment. Native animals and insects are treated with care and respect and are allowed to remain free while appropriate observation by children of animal behaviour is made.

In 1997 the Campus Kindergarten community commenced a Sustainable Planet Project. This project focuses on teaching children about looking after our environment through modelling and hands-on projects. Projects to date have included recycling (paper & cardboard), composting, worm farming, creating a permaculture garden, creating a frog pond, making possum houses, keeping chickens and developing a litterless lunch program. The Sustainable Planet Project is ongoing and continually developing. Family support is always appreciated in this area.
