Wonderful Worm Waste schools programme was developed by Vicki Power in 2012 as a Perth, Western Australia-based sustainability education service, and is now operating in south-east QLD. The program highlights waste reduction in schools and at home, with the primary focus being on worm farming and the (mini-beasts) worms and native threaten worms. Vicki brings with her 30 years experience in conservation education working in the areas of research and captive breeding of many of Australias threatened and endangered species in Zoos across Australia, NZ, and the USA. She has co-written several scientific articles and a chapter on numbats published in CSIRO publishing. Among her media credits include numerous TV shows and documentaries including the 1st episode of The Zoo.
The aim is to empower the students to share with their school, families and community their new knowledge and understanding of waste management.
The activities are designed to supplement the schools ongoing waste minimisation programs, and support learning outcomes by directly involving students in a practical but fun way. Ideally this would also be integrated with the installation of a worm farm on site at the school. Wonderful Worm Waste is happy to advise on a suitable location within your school, childcare centre, or kindergarten.
The educational post activity investigation and lesson plans are intended to be fun and are designed to promote life-long learning, whilst developing positive environmental values and long term behaviour change. Why not book a presentation & installation of a worm farm too!
