Our Patch
Community based Cape to Cape Catchments Group Inc is working in partnership with the Rotary Club of Margaret River, ANZ Seeds of Renewal program and teachers at four primary schools - Margaret River, Independent, Saint Thomas More and Montessori. Catchments expert Tracey Muir works with year three and year six classes utilising an interactive and hands-on program that meets national curriculum requirements and is based on the Ribbons of Blue model.
This is a community partnership with a focus on local environment education and community mentor benefits to the children. A successful pilot project was sponsored by the Rotary Club in 2011-2012 with year three students at Margaret River primary school; its success has encouraged expansion to the other primary schools and to include year six students who have related curriculum aspects. A successful grant proposal to ANZ Seeds of Renewal program augments Margaret River Rotary’s funding to ensure the program will continue throughout the 2014 school year.
