May2011_PINE RIVERS KINDERGARTENS TO BE POWERED BY THE SUN
Four kindergartens in Pine Rivers will be powered by the sun as part of the Bligh Government’s $5.76 million Solar Kindergarten Installation Program, and Dayboro Community Kindergarten is one of them!
Carolyn Male MP said the program – part of our drive to make Queensland the solar state – would help save the environment and also save operating costs at the kindergartens.
“Our children are our future, which is why the Bligh Government places such an emphasis on the provision of quality kindergarten services,” Carolyn Male MP said.
Our kindergartens will save money and our children will be attending more sustainable services that are helping to save the planet.
The other 3 Pine Rivers kindergartens to receive solar-power units are Lawnton Kindergarten and Preschool, South Pine Community Kindergarten and Strathpine Kindergarten
The Solar Kindergarten Installation Program is a collaborative effort between the Bligh Government and the Creche and Kindergarten Association (C&K).
The Minister announced this month that, under the program, 166 C&K kindergartens throughout the state will be retro-fitted with 1.5kW solar-power units, from April this year.
The Minister said solar-power units would also be installed at up to 240 new kindergarten services being established as part of the government’s commitment to give all Queensland children access to quality kindergarten programs.
The Solar Kindergartens program builds on the government’s Solar Schools program, which has resulted in solar panels being installed in 1164, or more than 94 per cent, of all state schools in the past three years.
