Goulburn Valley Water Education Officers work with schools and can advise teachers about water based curriculum activities, programs and resources.
Goulburn Valley Water offers free guided tours, talks and activities can be arranged on a range of topics including water conservation, the water cycle, water treatment, wastewater and reusing reclaimed water.
Goulburn Valley Water also supports the Goulburn Broken Waterwatch program and can assist schools to monitor the water quality of their local waterway and learn about the Goulburn Broken Catchment.
National Water Week is an annual event held during October that encourages schools to take actions that help protect and conserve water, our most precious resource.
Educational activities offered by Goulburn Valley Water can be arranged to suit your schools individual requirements. Topics can be combined and field trips organised to cover a range of topics in the one session.
