WOW - Wipe Out Waste... Welcome to the WOW website. This site is designed for teachers and students who are interested in reducing waste and making learning interesting! And it may look different to when you last visited. We still have a few design changes to make, but we are now on a system that we hope is easier to navigate.
Information and registration forms on upcoming workshop dates and locations are listed at the bottom of this page. We will be getting around the whole state as soon as we can!
How to use the WOW site
The site contains a number of sections or areas of interest, which are listed under the Menu on the left hand side of this page.
By clicking on any of these sections, another page and sub menu is displayed which has further information about that section.
A number of supporting resources are available for downloading (in MSWord & MSExcel documents and .pdf files).
We look forward to your feedback about the site. Send comments via email to jo@kesab.asn.au ; kathy@kesab.asn.au
