School receives grant for sensory garden

Pretty Beach Public School will receive $3500 to establish a sensory garden through the NSW Government's Eco Schools grant program.

Principal Ms Deborah Callender said the sensory garden would support students with specific learning needs and encourage environmental sustainability.

"This project will provide an opportunity for our students to learn ways to look after plants and habitats which exist in our local environment," Ms Callender said.

"The sensory garden is a great addition to the school, as it makes use of a currently unutilised area of the school grounds," she said.

The Eco Schools Grant Program provides funding for schools to create environmental learning opportunities for students, teachers and the school community.

Member for Terrigal Mr Adam Crouch said: "I'm really pleased that this funding will go towards a great learning initiative which connects the classroom with the outdoors," Mr Crouch said.

"The sensory garden will help to educate students on the importance of protecting and preserving our local environment for future generations."

"I look forward to visiting the school again to witness the progress on this exciting project," he said.
