What teachers say ....
'Special Forever provides students with a perfect opportunity to communicate environmental knowledge and understanding in a meaningful, real world situation. It is a fantastic vehicle for purposeful writing, providing students with a real audience and the possibility of being published.'
West Bathurst Public School, Bathurst, NSW

'During Special Forever children were highly motivated and actively engaged in writing and visual arts activities because they were focusing on topics which interested them.'
Albury Primary School, Albury, NSW

We were thrilled with the creativity and ingenuity displayed by our students in the plans and designs they formulated to help Australians conserve water in times of drought whilst participating in Special Forever. Also gratifying was the depth of understanding displayed by students of the nature and effects of drought.'
Heathcote Primary School, Bendigo, VIC

'Special Forever facilitated a greater understanding of the river system that we can see from our classrooms! An understanding of how things have changed in that system over time and an understanding of the interconnectedness of the world's environments and communities. All of this within a project that promotes participation and enjoyment.'
Moree Public School, Moree, NSW

'Special Forever has certainly inspired an interest in our local area, past and present, and in environmentally sound practices such as water monitoring. Thank you for giving our school the opportunity to be involved in this project.'
Murray Bridge North Primary School, Murray Bridge, SA

'Special Forever brought the whole school together with a focus on the local environment. Consequently students are more aware and knowledgeable about the environmental issues facing the local community and the Murray-Darling Basin as a whole. Through this work they have developed a good understanding of the resources and potential futures of their community. As a major outcome a school-based publication was created using e-technology, featuring a piece of writing and sketch from each student. It is also hoped that a CD will be produced in the future.'
Tongala Primary School, Tongala, VIC

'Our school adopted a site for six months. All enjoyed and learned lots about environmental issues associated with our selected site. Special Forever integrated into this project and provided a focused opportunity to communicate our experiences with others.'
