Kegworth Public School Community Sharewaste Initiative Interview with Leah

In this episode, Leah from Kegworth Public School in Leichardt, Sydney shared with us how the eco warrior club students take ownership in collecting food waste buckets and composting in the school community garden. We discussed some of the compost equipment’s are designed for adults that are not easy for children to operate. The students gain a sense of agency and pride in their daily action and many other educational and social benefits. If you are a teacher or you have little ones in school or childcare, this episode is especially for you.

Does your school have a community garden? Is the compost facility in operation or as decoration? What are some of the challenges you know the compost facility has experience? Share with us in a comment below. We would love to help schools and their community to make their community compost effort a success.
