Eco Active Schools
Eco-Active Schools Program
The Eco-Active Schools Program is an environmental grants program available for schools in the Blacktown Local Government Area. There is a total of $30,000 available for the Eco-Active Schools Program.
Council is pleased to announce that the Eco Active Schools Program is taking an exciting new direction this year, focusing on the design and implementation of kitchen gardens and food sustainability programs within local schools.
The program is currently in trial phase, with applications for funding opening in the second half of 2009. All primary and secondary schools in the Blacktown Local Government Area are invited to apply, so get your thinking caps on and start designing your school's very own kitchen garden!
