Sustainable Family Home - School Holiday Activities

  • Canberra Environment Centre Lawson Crescent Acton, ACT, 2601 (map)

These school holidays, the Canberra Environment Centre is running sustainability activities for the whole family.

Join us to learn about creating your own sustainable family home. This event is suitable for Primary School aged children and their parents/guardians.

Tickets are $5 (+booking fee) per child, and free for adults accompanying children. Book tickets for the number of children you will be bringing. Adults do not need to book. Book here: https://sustainablefamilyhome2.eventbrite.com.au

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Each adult can bring a maximum of 3 children to the event.

We will be taking a look at what sustainability is, why we should care in the first place, and getting our hands dirty with a variety of fun hands-on games and activities, including an interactive tour of the centre, a recycling competition, planting seeds, and getting crafty with recycled objects.

Participants will be given activity sheets to take home and work through to continue on their sustainable family home journey.

Wear enclosed shoes and comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty.

BYO snacks and water bottle.
