St Stephen’s is another step closer to being a water wise school. Year sevens participated in the Water Corporation ‘Waterwise Schools Program’ which is a multi-sensory experience for students. The purpose of the program is for students to receive education in conservation and sustainability of the water in WA.
Students discovered that gardens and bathrooms use most of the household water. Students also discovered that a 4 min or less shower uses 4 buckets of water and a shower at over 10 min uses 10 buckets of water. It is estimated a bucket of water is used per minute in the shower. Waterwise suggests shorter showers and hand water your garden to reduce evaporation. These are two easy ways to save water.
