Lake Gwelup primary environmental projects consultant Keith Brown said students, teachers and parents had contributed to the school’s new learnscapes. ‘In its planning process, students, teachers and parents meet to design learning areas within the school grounds so that learning is not confined to the classroom,’ Mr Brown said.

Balcatta Rotary Club has supported Lake Gwelup Primary School’s environmental programs by providing a nursery, which is being used to propagate local plants from seeds supplied to plant around Lake Gwelup.
