Western Water kickstarts 2014 presentations

This week Western Water, together with the team at Edunity, kicked off its 2014 water incursion program with presentations at Balliang East & New Gisborne Primary Schools. 

The presentations bring in a school year that will see our presenters visit well over 9000 primary and preschool students across the Western Water service area.

The 45-60 minute presentations cover a range of topics, from drinking water for health to saving it at school and around the home. They also have strong links to the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) and AusVELS, engaging pre and post lesson plans and free showbag giveaway for all students.

And as always, our adorable water saving ambassadors Sammy the Snake and Frances the Frog will be there to help spread the message.

That’s right, after 11 years in our seaside digs in St Kilda, we are moving onwards and upwards to our new space in Flinders Lane.

Our new address from 18 December is 202 / 517 Flinders Lane, Melbourne 3000.

All our other contact details will stay the same.

Edunity helps SES promote Storm Safety

 

Edunity SES Storm Safe Online Game

 

 

 

 

 

 

StormSafe Awareness Week is Monday 9 – Sunday 15 September 2013

Edunity and Klyp.co have produced the StormSafe education program for the Victoria State Emergency Service to teach parents, teachers and kids about preparing for storms.

Students can test who is the fastest mouse click in the west when they use the StormSafe Online Game to trim back overhanging tree branches, put away garden furniture, toys and trampolines and clear the gutters of leaf litter and muck.

The game reinforces the SES key messages of

  • unsecured items in backyards can cause damage to people and property
  • it’s easy to make your property storm safe
  • kids can help their households to be storm safe.

Along with the game, Edunity have produced a set of lesson plans and activities for teachers, with full AusVELs links for Prep – Year 8.
