School Litter Program
We have designed and produced a School Litter Program to help students, teachers and the school community to reduce school yard litter and to cover environmental education themes within the school syllabus. Available for free, Council provides a School Litter Program Guide which contains all the required information and instructions for schools within the Georges River Local Government Area to deliver the program. You can find this below.
The School Litter Program is designed for students from stages 1 - 5. However, all primary and secondary schools within the Georges River Local Government Area are eligible to participate for free.
To register as an interested school, please contact Council’s customer service team on 9330 6400 or on mail@georgesriver.nsw.gov.au .
Speaking for the Planet
Georges River Council supports the international Speaking 4 the Planet initiative by annually facilitating the competition with local high schools.
In June 2019, Georges River Council celebrated World Environmental Day with local high schools by hosting the Speaking 4 the Planet competition.
It was a wonderful day of creativity, team work and learning about being environmentally responsible.
