Schools to get involved in Enviroweek

Greater Shepparton City Council is asking schools and students to sign up for Enviroweek and participate in the seven day challenge.

Mayor Jenny Houlihan said ‘Enviroweek is about saving water, energy or paper, planting a veggie garden or simply riding your bike to school. We are asking schools and students to get involved with Enviroweek to help children identify smart ways to live. Schools just need to simply sign up, it is free and there are also some great prizes to be won’.

‘Last year more than 162,000 young Australians joined in, so I am sure Greater Shepparton cancontribute again towards this great week,’ said Cr Houlihan.

Simply get your school involved by signing up on www.enviroweek.org to access prizes, events and activity tips or contact Greater Shepparton City Council Sustainability and Environment team on 5832 9700.
