Dromana Primary School environmental captain Charli is an example of how our next generation are going to make our world a better place.
Charli was appointed one of the four environmental captains for 2023 after an application and interview process back in late 2022. This gave her the summer holidays to prepare and hit the ground running in the first week back to start the 2023 schooling year.
Charli organised a time to meet the school leadership and presented an incredible argument to ‘green’ our classrooms through families donating an indoor plant to each classroom in order to improve both the learning environment as well as the air quality of classrooms. This was no ordinary presentation – it was accompanied by incredible research and findings into the benefits of her idea for Dromana Primary as well as a wish for all students to greater understand the importance of caring for nature.
After the ‘green’ light from leadership, Charli then posted to the school community a compelling request to donate indoor plants, and the response was fantastic! The reach also prompted Peninsula businesses such as The Diggers Club to contribute to this fantastic idea.
Charli is indeed an incredible student and leader of Dromana Primary School and is now an environmental leader within our community.
