Shire MPs Lee Evans, Eleni Petinos and Mark Speakman announced today three Shire schools would each receive a $3,500 Eco Schools Grant to encourage environmental learning opportunities for students, teachers and the school community.
| School | Project |
| Grays Point Public
School |
Sustainable/ecofriendly “school in the park” to provide for the school canteen and local community through a community garden.
|
| Waterfall Public School | Nature Inspired Learning Environment (NILE) to create several separate yet linked learning spaces, incorporating a multi-layered approach to promoting environmental and sustainability learning.
|
| The Jannali High School | To construct an outdoor Eco learning area focused around teaching students the importance of sustainability and waste management. |
School children participating in these grassroots environmental projects learn skills for sustainable living and develop an appreciation for their local environment.
The program provides a hands-on, curriculum-based environmental education for students, with a focus on strong student participation. The students also learn about the importance of protecting the environment for future generations.
86 schools across NSW will share in more than $300,000 to implement local and practical environmental education initiatives through the 2018 round of the Eco Schools Grant Program.

Will the Minns Government actually start any infrastructure projects this term, or are they just perfecting the art of cutting ribbons? I’ll hold my breathe waiting!! You need to add - The Powerhouse Extension Castle Hill to your list.
And finally the new intercity trains are running to Newcastle too.
All but 2 in Sydney
One of the great pleasures of leading the NSW Liberals in 2024 has been getting out and about meeting so many wonderful Australians in our vibrant multicultural communities.
Looking forward to meeting many more across NSW in 2025! ... See MoreSee Less

When are you going to get out to the regional areas like moree
It is my opinion that politicians want us to believe that Australia is multicultural. This is a lie. Australia was created in 1901 when we became a Commonwealth under one god. Our values and morals and laws are based on the Christian religion. We are not multicultural, we are one culture: Australian. Individuals from other cultures that are invited to live in Australia are welcome, and we respect their customs. Our governments are trying to polarise and divide us by forcing us to believe in a lie, that we are multicultural. It is our responsibility to tell them we are but one culture: Australian. For those of us who have been born here, we are one with Australia as we are with our aboriginal brothers and sisters. We are not part of a two state solution that Labor has been fighting to impose on our nation, as they are trying to impose on Israel. My message to all politicians is clear, we are one nation: Australia.🇦🇺
This year the NSW Opposition shadow cabinet held meetings in the North Sydney, Blacktown, Georges River, Lismore, Shoalhaven, Penrith and Sutherland local government areas, with many more to come in 2025.
This is just one part of hearing from local communities, who want to be heard and are being hit hard by the cost of living crisis. ... See MoreSee Less
