The end-of-year expo marked the culmination of a year spent exploring, learning, and leading change for a more sustainable future.
Throughout the school year, students met four times — including an unforgettable overnight camp at the Naracoorte Caves — where they deepened their connection with nature through hands on activities.
Limestone Coast Landscape Board Educator Damien Bickley said, “The YELP program empowers students to design and deliver their own sustainability projects within their school communities”.
“Each project is student-driven, with participants choosing an environmental issue that matters to them. The expo is a chance for these young leaders to showcase their hard work, share their ideas, and inspire others.” Damien commented.
This year’s projects have already made a real difference, with schools tackling topics from weed education to local biodiversity and waste reduction. Students at Mulga Street Primary School have been raising awareness about the impact of weeds in the landscape, encouraging others to take action to protect local ecosystems.
Educators who are interested in joining the program for 2026 are encouraged to complete the registration form.
