Students embrace sustainability

A NEW Central Highlands Water Choose Tap water fountain has been installed at Invermay Primary School.

The fountain aims to encourage students to refill reusable water bottles inside of using single-use plastic.

“Our students are proud to be making everyday choices that support a healthier environment,” Invermay Primary School principal, Justin Marshman said.

“The new Choose Tap fountain is not just about staying hydrated, it’s about learning the value of sustainability and making a real difference, one refill at a time.”

The installation of the fountain coincided with World Environment Day earlier this month.

The day calls for collective action to stop plastic pollution which threatens aquatic life and environments.

“We’re proud to support Invermay Primary School through our Choose Tap program,” Central Highlands Water managing director Jeff Haydon said.

“Empowering young people to choose tap water over single-use plastics is a simple but powerful way to build lifelong habits that benefit both communities and the environment.”
