Published on 26 August 2024
Children across the Snowy Monaro region are set to get their hands dirty for a good cause, thanks to Council’s exciting new environmental education initiative.
The Get Grubby Program is a cutting-edge sustainability resource for young learners, coming soon to local primary schools and available now online for home and distance education students.
Developed by the award-winning team behind educational children's content brands dirtgirlworld and Get Grubby TV, this program offers a fun and engaging way for kids to connect with nature and learn about environmental stewardship.
‘We're thrilled to bring the Get Grubby Program to our community,’ said Aimee Moy, Education Engagement Officer at Snowy Monaro Regional Council.
‘This initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering a sustainable future and nurturing the next generation of environmental champions.’
The Get Grubby Program explores a wide range of sustainability topics, including:
- Composting and worm farming
- Water conservation
- Energy efficiency
- Recycling and waste reduction
- Organic gardening
- Sustainable celebrations
Through a mix of hands-on activities, streaming videos, and take-home projects, children will develop lifelong planet-loving habits while having a blast.
‘It's more important than ever for children to connect with the natural world,’ Moy added. ‘The Get Grubby Program helps swap screen time for green time, growing happier, healthier kids who are passionate about protecting our environment.’
