CLP Projects - Term 4, 2009 Print

Mortlake College
The big picture is to design and build a BBQ area complete with built-in BBQ for our school. We are hoping that this will benefit our school and local community by creating a space and means for various fundraisers to be organised. It will also be a great place for school lunches at Mortlake College. To involve not just the school community we decided we will also hold fundraising events for the local clubs, e.g. The money from our open day will go to The Abbeyfield House (aged care home) as they are trying to raise money for building a new wing.

Fitzroy High School
We want to install a rain garden at our school so less storm water is going into Merri Creek. We also hope that some of these ideas are then utilised in peoples own homes.

Melbourne Girls College
– to break down barriers held between adolescents and parents. To build and create ties that bring families together. To achieve this goal we are preparing an evening seminar focussed on workshopping common trust issues between adolescent and parents.

Melbourne High School (Two CLP teams) –
MHS 1
- plan to help prepare Warburton Valley for the bushfire season by raising awareness and checking with the CFA and SES about what we can do to help. AS a backup plan we wish to help fundraise or prepare for the aftermath if a bushfire did indeed strike.
MHS 2
- We are going to explore the ideas of water health and lack of food under the main heading of World Poverty by creating an organisation that will ultimately attempt to galvanise communities to help themselves and other impoverished communities. We will raise awareness about poverty through a variety of forms of media.
From this point we hope to find sponsorship and backing for our organisation, and then raise awareness in more potent forms; by running trips and expeditions to educate world communities, starting with Australia.
Once we have made an impact, hopefully we will have created a movement and legacy that will be heard in as many corners of the globe as possible.

Warrnambool College
- To develop a bushfire awareness program. We will plan to give out show bags with details regarding bushfire awareness and to begin an information hub/website that can spread more up-to-date news regarding bushfires and have links to other sites for easy reference

Barwon South West Region
– our project will allow all of us to take something back to our schools. We will make a booklet about our journey here incorporating an indigenous mural that we will create at Gnurad Gundidj. The booklet will have tips for preparing for, and coping with, an extended stay away from home.

Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College
– we are going to write proposals to Vic Roads and the local council to change the speed limit around our multi campus school so that all day the speed limit is lower, hence, safer. We want to include better signage, lower speed limit and greater public awareness.
