Creating Active Citizens Plan Implementation of "Kalamunda Connected" included the delivery of the inaugural Community Builders Conference in September at the Kalamunda Performing Arts Centre. The Conference showcased community builders - those people dedicated to 'building' their community through volunteering and the sharing of time, talent and passion. The City received a number of letters and emails from attendees, congratulating the City on its work. Another success was the Adopta-Patch launch. Students from years 1 to 11 have been learning about the six Noongar seasons, the impact of waste on the environment and which native animals live in their local bushland area. Over the next two years they will continue to learn about environmental topics including waste management, bird identification and the impact of Phytophthora Dieback on local bushland. Adopt-a-Patch has strong curricular links and is designed to be extended into the local
community, with students of all ages encouraged to work with local Friends Groups to volunteer their time at local bushland reserves. Since the program started, more than 250 native plants have been planted to improve local habitat and a large quantity of rubbish removed from local reserves and local school grounds. 16 school incursions have been undertaken to improve student’s environmental awareness. In response to COVID-19, a range of online resources were developed to allow for virtual learning to continue. Clubs 4 Life The City successfully applied for DLGSCI Every Club funding to increase the annual program of workshops for the City’s active sport and recreation clubs and community groups.
