Since 1990 Mt Clear Primary School has been committed to innovative whole school
environmental education policies and programs. The book which
documented our first two years, Environmental Action : Mt Clear was reprinted many times. It is now out of
print but a summary of the various programs which contribute to the
whole school approach From Restoring a Creek to a Regional Conservation
Strategy is included in We Can Do That! - A collection of significant projects published by the Victorian Environmental Education Council and Gould League of Victoria (1995).
We are also happy to share by email any aspects of our
programs.
