Water Behaviour Change

Are you trying to improve water behaviours at school? Here are some tips on changing behaviours, from the Water Best Practice Guide provided by Actsmart Schools:

• make sure all staff and students know that their school is aiming to reduce water consumption
• make sure all staff and students know what they can and should do to help
• promote water-saving measures at assemblies, in school newsletters and other forms of communication
• display student-designed posters, stickers and postcards featuring water-saving messages
• nominate water monitors and reward them for their efforts
• organise competitions and present water awards at assemblies
• participate in water-wise events and national days such as National Water Week
• promote water saving practices and actions with school cleaners, maintenance and grounds keeping staff
