National Solar Schools Program, Newtown Public School, 22 July

The National Solar Schools Program provides every Australian school with the opportunity to apply for a grant of up to $50,000 for the installation of solar power systems and other energy and water saving measures.
 
At Newtown Public School, I was pleased to meet the school's Earth Kids who are a great example of students commited to making a difference to their environment. The school plans to apply for a National Solar Schools Program grant to add to its existing environmental initiatives.

"It's Our House" poster display, Bowen Library, 18 July
