We are working together to care for the Georges River.

Activity 1

Past students created drain art to campaign for Zero litter in the Georges River. These images show Corey, an artist creating stencils from these artworks.

How will you present your learning and teach others about why we need to reduce our litter and achieve Zero litter in the georges River? Is it a a poster, an artwork, a speech or character like Zero?
Get to work!
On completion, students reflect on their work, how it feels to work in a team and discuss the work of volunteer groups in the community.
