Environment and Sustainability
At Dromana Primary School, environmental responsibility is embedded in everyday learning. Our coastal location provides authentic opportunities for students to connect with, understand and care for the natural environment around them.
Environmental Captains
Our Environmental Captains are elected Year Six student leaders who demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability. They lead environmental initiatives across the school and promote practical, everyday actions that support a more sustainable community.
As part of their leadership role, captains participate in the I sea, I care program, a coastal and marine stewardship initiative that builds student knowledge of local ecosystems and environmental challenges. Through this program, students develop leadership skills while learning how to take meaningful action to protect our beaches and waterways. Our captains share this learning with peers and model responsible environmental practices across the school.
Junior Rangers
The Junior Rangers program provides additional opportunities for students to strengthen their connection to Country and local coastal environments. The program particularly supports and engages our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, fostering pride, cultural connection and environmental leadership.
In partnership with Parks Victoria and the Dromana Foreshore Ranger, students explore native flora and fauna, conservation practices and land management. These hands-on learning experiences nurture respect, responsibility and a strong sense of belonging within our local environment.
Bike Club
Bike Club operates each Wednesday morning as part of our Ride to School program. Students of all year levels are welcome to meet on the foreshore opposite BP Dromana, where our Bike Captains, under the supervision of staff lead the group ride along the foreshore path to school. Parents are warmly encouraged to join.
Bike Club also runs at lunchtime on Wednesdays, with staff members taking students on supervised bike rides and supporting the development of safe riding skills and bike handling techniques.
Through Bike Club, students build confidence, independence and physical fitness while making environmentally responsible transport choices that reduce our carbon footprint.
