Water warriors share wise words

Student Jaesha receives a participation certificate from Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith.

DANDENONG High School students shared water-wise words at a recent conference.
They were among 450 Water Warriors from 47 schools selected for the Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids Conference.
The internationally-recognised environmental event has kids teach their peers through novel, interactive, informative and fun workshops.
This year’s theme was the urban water cycle and students were challenged to think about their connection to and impact on all elements of the cycle – drinking water, stormwater, wastewater and waterways.
The Dandenong students performed Willy Wonka and the Water Factory prior to a gala dinner on the conference’s first day.
Day two had students attend an environmental project day at Collingwood Children’s Farm where they took part in activities including building a rain garden and tree planting.
