Mentoring

 

The inspiration for this project came from the amazing work of Coolbinia Primary School. Under the coordination of Dr Elaine Lewis, the teaching staff worked together to deliver cross-curricular education on the importance of protecting native butterfly species. 

 

Dr Lewis was instrumental in the Project's success by sharing her knowledge with the Project Coordinator, Brooke Sputore and by delivering a Teacher Planning Workshop to 28 members of the Cockburn/Fremantle Butterfly Garden Project.
