Dive into learning: Goldenfields Water and NTC unite

Published on 21 October 2024

For a third year running, Goldenfields Water has partnered with The National Theatre for Children (NTC) to deliver highly valuable, water-based programs to our schools.

During the month of September, Goldenfields Water in partnership with the NTC offered free educational, curriculum-based livestream events for Science and Geography students in years 7 to 10.

This years offering included the previous popular Your Water, Your Future. This program is aimed at Stage 4: Years 7 to 8 students with a focus on the following educational points: the value of water, water in our world, the science and geography behind water treatment, and the future of water efficiency in Australia.

For the first time, the offering was expanded to include Stage 5: Years 9 to 10 students with a program called Connect 2 NEXT. This program has a focus on environmental science, climate change, sustainability, and STEM career pathways.

“The original concept for delivery of the program in conjunction with the NTC was after the success of our Depth Day programs, delivered to Year 11 students at our Jugiong Water Treatment Plant,” stated Mr Aaron Drenovski, General Manager of Goldenfields Water.

He continued, “with the uncertainty that COVID-19 brought at the time, we decided on virtual delivery of the program. It has been a huge success, particularly with our school in more remote areas, therefore we made the decision to expand our offering in the virtual space.”

Sponsored by Goldenfields Water, the free program is offered to the nine high schools and six central schools located across Goldenfields Water’s supply network. The remote location of some of these schools makes it a fantastic offering, allowing students to partake from the comfort and ease of their own classroom interacting via a livestream video.

Goldenfields Water's sponsorship of the event reflects its ongoing commitment to supporting the communities it serves.
