The Primary Science Students @ Work program was launched in 2009 in partnership with St. Patrick’s Primary School in Lilydale, Karwarra Australian Plant Garden, Friends of the Warburton Trail, Shire of Yarra Ranges and Swinburne University.
The project brief challenged students to:
- Develop plant fact sheets (to be used by Karwarra)
- Create colourful posters (also to be used by Karwarra)
- Participate in a tree planting day along the Warburton Trail
- Propagate plants
- Deliver a formal presentation
Students from Swinburne University evaluated the partnership and developed supporting classroom activities and materials.
