Brunswick South Primary School (BSPS) created a large-scale biodiversity-themed mural to inspire environmental awareness and celebrate the ecosystems surrounding the school. The mural, painted on a 12m x 3m storage container in a high-traffic area, became a vibrant, permanent reminder of local biodiversity. The project built on BSPS’s progress in the ResourceSmart Schools program, following its 2023 Biodiversity Audit where the school achieved a strong rating of 78.

Wendouree Primary School received a Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant to establish a habitat garden for the critically endangered Swift Parrot, raising awareness of the species and other endangered animals.
