Provide detailed information. Explain how you encouraged children to exchange their thoughts and ideas about environmental responsibility during one of your consultations with them. I set up an interactive "Green Ideas" wall where children shared their sustainability ideas on sticky notes. I engaged in conversations, showing interest and asking questions, to make them feel comfortable expressing their thoughts. During your consultation with the children, how did you support them to take the lead in identifying practices that are environmentally responsible at the service? Through the "Green Leaders" project, children formed teams, researched topics like waste reduction and energy conservation, and presented ideas. I guided them with open-ended questions, allowing them to take charge and develop action plans for eco-friendly initiatives. Provide three examples of strategies you developed in consultation with the children to promote environmental responsibility. Example 1: Based on children's suggestions, the service implemented a "Nature Guardians" program where kids take turns to water plants and sort recyclables. This not only promotes responsibility but also empowers them to care for their environment. Example 2: Following consultations, a "Lights Off" challenge was initiated, where children remind each other to turn off lights when not needed. A mural project was also launched, showcasing the importance of conserving water and energy through creative artwork.

Provide detailed information. Example 3: Children were engaged in storytelling sessions led by indigenous elders. They listened to traditional stories about nature, seasons, and sustainable practices, gaining insights into how the indigenous community respects and cares for the land. How did you encourage the children to learn about Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait islander peoples’ environmental responsibility practices during your consultation with them? We organized a special "Cultural Discovery Day" where an indigenous elder visited the service. The elder shared stories about their connection to the land and how their ancestors practiced environmental responsibility. Children engaged in hands-on activities like traditional seed planting, learning about the importance of biodiversity and sustainable farming. Provide two examples of how you consulted with other stakeholders (such as parents or other educators) to identify potential changes in the service philosophy, policies and procedures regarding environmental responsibility. Attach proof of the consultation such as an email or survey (if you consulted with the stakeholders using a method other than oral communication). Example 1: What did you do? Sent an email to all educators requesting their input on potential changes in environmental responsibility practices. Summarise their responses.
