The EnviroSmart Online Workshop is a step-by-step environmental education resource that assists teachers and students to develop, implement and report on a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP). It encourages students to examine the environmental management practises within their school, their local community and the Australian Minerals Industry.
Designed for the upper primary and junior secondary school students, EnviroSmart consists of a booklet of information and student worksheets, two posters, NSW curriculum links and internet access to case studies of environmental practises at Australian mine sites.
By becoming an EnviroSmart school and developing a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP), students will
- develop a greater understanding of the impact of people on the environment;
- gain a greater appreciation of the principles of sustainable development;
- use their understanding of environmental management practices in the Australian minerals industry to apply environmental management strategies within their own school environment;
- be able to identify the elements of the school environment that they can manage more effectively;
- acquire knowledge and skills to manage these key elements of the school environment;
- design and implement an effective mechanism for monitoring, evaluating, reviewing and reporting a SEMP;
- critically assess the value of encouraging others to improve environmental performance via an agreed code of principles, as is now being done within the Australian minerals industry;
- develop an understanding of the benfits of effectively communicating performance in environmental management; and
- make a commitment to environmental management practices at both the individual and community level.
The EnviroSmart resource is currently in the process of being revised and NSWMC no longer holds this resource in stock. We anticipate that it will be made available online in the near future.
