Around 20 students from the Belvoir Specialist School in Wodonga, Victoria, will tour Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Thurgoona site on Friday 16 May to study the local environment and how we can reduce our environmental ‘footprint’. The tour by CSU environmental education lecturer Mr John Rafferty will also include students enrolled in CSU education degrees offered by the Murray School of Education. “The students from the Belvoir Specialist School have been learning about the role of science and technology in understanding and investigating our local environment. Now they can see it in action on our campus,” Mr Rafferty said. The CSU Thurgoona site has won numerous NSW, national and international awards for its buildings and water management systems, which aim to reduce water and power use and wastage across the campus.
