Grant received for environmental education

Pretty Beach Public School has received a $2500 grant as part of the State Government's Eco Schools Program.

The new program provides grants to schools to give them the opportunity to involve their students and community in developing and implementing environmental management projects.

The overall objective of the Eco Schools Program is to support schools to develop best practice in environmental education and innovative solutions to environmental issues.

"This money will go towards establishing an organic vegetable garden," school principal Ms Vicki Redrup said.
