The Green Leaders Education Program

The Lunch Makers program is run over 6 weeks in any term and aims to empower kids to be involved in preparing and making their own lunch and reducing food waste in your school or preschool! Students’ new skills are celebrated with a ‘Pack Your Own Lunch Day’ during the Term.

What’s involved:

1. You’ll receive a Lunch Makers Resource Pack with everything you need - program content for school/preschool newsletters, emails and apps, social media tiles and posts
2. Complete a short, sharp food waste photo audit with your students
3. Run the Lunch Makers program during the Term using the resource pack for communicating weekly with your parent community and in class/ preschool learning resources
4. Hold a kids ‘Make your Own Lunch’ Day during the Term 5. Option to host a fun FREE composting workshop at your school/preschool (for one class or staff group) with FREE composting equipment!

Scraps to Soil collective workshops are composting skills development workshops for educators in schools or early learning centres. They are ‘collective’ because an interested school or preschool hosts the workshop for their staff and also invites staff from at least one neighbouring school or preschool. MidWaste provides the facilitator for the workshop and free composting equipment if needed (fine to use what you already have) to schools participating. You will learn about the value of composting, setting up, managing and maintaining your new or existing compost bin or worm farm, ingredients and how to use compost products as well as troubleshooting, so you are ready to create fantastic compost at school.
