Clear the Carp - Stewart Park, Skipton

Clear the Carp – Skipton is proudly led by the Grade 5/6 students from Skipton Primary School as part of their Student Voice project. These passionate young leaders have planned, organised and driven this event to support the health of Mount Emu Creek and bring their community together through fishing, learning and environmental action.

Building on the success of last year’s event, the students once again took the initiative to create something meaningful for their town. Fishcare Victoria is proud to be invited to support and value-add to an already outstanding, student-led project through our RFL-funded Catch a Carp program.

This event is a powerful example of young people leading positive change in their community.
