Wilsons Creek Public School is a tiny school making a big difference by sharing the joy of learning and caring for land. The school is in a region with extraordinary biodiversity that is under threat by habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. In the past five years, the school and the surrounding area experienced prolonged drought, then catastrophic fire, then extreme flooding. These natural disasters brought the local community closer together and sharpened the school’s focus on environmental management and sustainability. The school coordinates an integrated suite of projects to involve the students in Landcare activities that align with learning goals in the curriculum.
