Member for Terrigal, Mr Adam Crouch MP has congratulated Aspect Central Coast School for their successful application for a $3,500 Eco Schools Program grant, which helps instill environmental awareness and appreciation in children.
Mr Crouch said the NSW Environmental Trust grant would help the school implement local and practical environmental education initiatives for their students.
“I am delighted that Aspect Central Coast School proposed a project called ‘Autism Support Vegetable and Herb Sensory Garden’ in a bid to achieve horticultural practices for those students wanting to go onto agricultural studies,” Mr Crouch said.
Environment minister, Mr Mark Speakman, said the Eco Schools grants would help young people to learn and value the natural environment. “They help educate students on the importance of protecting the environment for future generations,” he said.
“All of the primary and secondary school children participating in these innovative environmental projects will transfer their learning to peers, family and communities, which will generate an environmental legacy.”
