<p>This year’s environmental theme was selected to support education around sustainability and recycling while aligning with key school curriculums. Bostik’s Category Manager, Mellissa Coulter, says that introducing grants like this is a great way to help schools raise much needed funds while allowing children to participate and lead in the process.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“The aim of the Smart Schools program is to support learning outcomes within school curriculums and help stimulate creative thinking and problem solving in the classroom,” she says. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>“By asking our future leaders to create these projects, it encourages discussion around the importance of caring for the environment. </p>
<blockquote>
<p>“It’s been fantastic seeing so many schools across Australia submit stand-out projects that showcase students’ creativity and inventiveness. It made it very difficult to choose the winners!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>“Creative projects around the environment, climate change and sustainability, allows kids to understand how our eco-system works and helps them become more conscious of their everyday <br />
actions. This competition is just one of the ways we hope to give back to our school community.”</p>
