Your Question?
Hi, I am currently doing my certificate III in childrens services. I have been given my first booklet and read over it a hundered times, I have answereed most of the questions in the booklet and am now up to my assessments. I'm having trouble with project 1 as majority of the question do not relate to the information in the booklet. I have done questions 1-5 (with a struggle) but am baffled as to what question 6 has to do with the other 5 questions anyway? Here are the questions.
Assessment tool 3 (AT3): Project(s)
Q12:Set yourself a goal for improving the quality of your relationships with 3 people in your current workplace. One should be your manager, one a member of your staff and one a co-worker.
1.Establish some short term and long term objectives for building these relationships.
2.Discuss the behaviours you will have to engage in to meet your goal with each of these people.
3.How will you know when you have reached your goal?
4.What personal strengths will you need to use to accomplish your goal?
5.What are the barriers to you reaching your goal?
6.What would you do to promote enviromental awareness and sustainability?

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I have answered questions 1 through to 5 (with struggle) as I have stated above

HI Kayeee what I think it means
Q.6
instal solar panel,connect water tank to catch the rain water
how you can improve waste,recycle paper,plant more grass,plants ect.

Hi, thank you for the reply. I am aware of what environmental awareness and sustainability is and what it involves doing but i am a bit stuck on how i would answer the question in a sentence.

Sustainability has become a more important aspect in the childcare/kindy area since the NQS, (National Quality Standards) so I think that may be why it is included in your assessment.
I would simply put something like:
To promote environmental awareness in our centre, I have suggested having a recycling container at the front and back entrance for paper/cans and bottles, so that families, staff and children are aware that we are environmentally aware, and to spend time with the children explaining, modelling and encouraging recycling as part of our daily routine.
Of course you could change that to be about a worm farm and using food scraps, compost bin etc..
Hope this helps
