The school is currently involved in a number of projects which focus on energy saving, water saving and conservation.
Eatons Hill State School is establishing itself as a smart and green school.
Through several key projects, it is trying to offer a progressive curriculum which engages children and has a futures orientation. Underpinning the curriculum are its ten core virtues of Respect, Responsibility, Courage, Diligence, Integrity, Conservation, Empathy, Fairness, Honesty and Citizenship.
Through its learning environment and first hand projects, the school is trying to encourage Eco-Citizenship, where children are given opportunities to
- Understand the interconnectedness of the natural and physical world;
- Be able to critically evaluate decisions that effect the balance of earth systems;
- Understand the complex relationships between humans and the environment:
- Make informed choices about the sustainable use of resources;
- Understand stewardship for the natural environment; and
- Work towards taking action to conserve the Earth for present and future generations.
Having these projects on school premises has enabled the school and its community to develop teaching scenarios and learning experiences which are very real and engaging.
