Rise & Shine BlueScopeWIN Environmental Schools Program
The Environmental Schools program is part of our Rise & Shine campaign. This competition is open to schools in the City of Wollongong.
The competition aims to:
- Develop and improve environmental standards in schools
- Encourage students to play a positive role in the protection and enhancement of their local environment
- Encourage students to take part in environmental projects
- Encourage students to show environmental care, concern and pride in their school.
Our major program sponsor, BlueScopeWIN Community Partners, has generously donated cash prizes worth $4000 in total. To help us measure how this prize money makes a difference, we ask winning schools to tell us how they spend this money.
