School children in the Noosa biosphere region will bring out their creative flair in a region wide first at the upcoming Noosa Biosphere Day community celebrations.

Twenty schools across the region, from as far and wide as Federal to Coolum and Sunshine Beach to Eumundi, will be on display at the event scheduled for the 18th of September at the Noosa Woods.

The initiative will give the community an opportunity to learn more about local education within the Noosa biosphere reserve, as each school will be creating information boards to be showcased at the event.

 Stephanie Haslam from the Noosa Biosphere Education Research and Development Board is helping drive the initiative and said that it is the first time all the schools will be coming together on a biosphere activity.

“Education is one of the three main purposes of a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere reserve and we are working in partnership with the school principals and their staff to help our youth better understand the Noosa biosphere reserve,” said Mrs Haslam.

 The displays will be showcased in a dedicated area on the day of the event with prizes to be awarded based on originality and creative flair.

“In addition to the schools display, there will be entertainment, workshops, cultural events and festivities for people of all ages as well as many of our local community groups attending with information booths,” said Mrs Haslam.

Noosa Biosphere Day will be held on Sunday 18th September in Noosa Woods from 10am – 3pm and sustainable transport options to alleviate parking congestion will be implemented.
