March 23, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Year 7 students from Nanango State High School visited the Nanango Sewage Treatment Plant recently.<\/p>\n

The field trip was organised as part of a science unit they are currently studying on water treatment.<\/p>\n

“The sewage treatment process was explained to students by Council\u2019s staff and the students were able to gain a first hand look at the treatment process,” Water and Wastewater Portfolio chair Cr Barry Green said.<\/p>\n

“They were able to ask questions about the scientific processes that are used to treat the sewage.<\/p>\n

“The students were given information on biological treatment, clarification and sedimentation, as well as disinfection and sampling. They were also shown the mechanical processes, including aeration.”<\/p>\n

NHS Science Coordinator Peter Cavallaro, who organised the field trip, said he could see applications for learning across many different classes, from the Year 7s who would see the sewage treatment process in action through to senior science students, who would be able to attempt to apply their knowledge in practical settings.<\/p>\n

While some people may not think of sewage treatment as an attractive career option, Council\u2019s Manager of Water and Wastewater Nerida Airs said she was excited to encourage the students to consider water and wastewater treatment when thinking about potential careers.<\/p>\n

“Most people like to flush and forget, but I think understanding where our waste goes and how it is treated is really important,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s great to see the teachers and students at Nanango State High taking a proactive, hands-on approach.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
