Meadow Springs Primary students entertain City of Mandurah councillors

Jill BurgessMandurah Coastal Times

SIX Meadow Springs Primary School students sang for City of Mandurah councillors at their meeting after returning from the Kids Teaching Kids conference in Melbourne in October.

The City of Mandurah offered a $5000 scholarship earlier this year to a local school that presented at the Perth and Regional Kids Teaching Kids conference.

The scholarship went to Meadow Springs students who shared their environmental learnings with the school and the community and inspired other students to take action on important sustainability issues.
