CLASSROOMS ON COUNTRY
HEALTHY RIVERS

Targeted at identified school students in Years 7 to 10, our Healthy Rivers workshop is the first in a series of Classroom on Country™ initiatives we are developing to strengthen students' knowledge of country.

 

Empowering Responsible Choices

Designed to empower students to look after inland rivers, this immersive experience provides participants with a deeper understanding of their role in preserving and protecting freshwater aquatic ecosystems.

​

Program Highlights

• Environmental Awareness: Builds understanding around the guiding principles and values associated with looking after country.

• Cultural Responsibility: Explores students' obligations to preserve inland rivers for future generations.

• Hands-on Learning: Offers a practical fishing session where students can learn about sustainable fishing practices.

• Habitat for Healthy Rivers: Gives students the opportunity to directly contribute to the health of a local waterway through participation in a habitat restoration project.

​​

How do the workshops work?

• Workshops last three hours, and a suitable local site will need to be identified. We are happy to assist with this process!

• A minimum of 20 students per session is required, with a maximum of 30 students allowed.

• The cost per student is $50.00. Every participant will receive a 'Respect the Past - Fish for the Future' Catch and Release Mat, proudly funded by the Aboriginal Fishing Trust Fund.
