Today, the Melbourne Football Club visited Lynbrook Primary School to congratulate them on the fantastic effort of winning the 2009 Greenest Schools Competition.

The Greenest Schools  initiative, conducted in conjunction with Szencorp, is aimed at schools using effective ways to reduce their energy usage each year.

Lynbrook Primary School was the school that reduced its energy usage the most between Terms 2 and 3 in 2009.

They today received a visit from Szencorp representatives, who spoke about the importance of saving energy, and also announced that they will be sending along a expert to put in place methods of saving energy at the school.

Melbourne stars Colin Garland and Ricky Petterd also visited the school and spoke about how they save energy at the Club, the importance of leadership and teamwork, and their careers.

The school was also presented with a colourful Greenest Schools Winner Certificate, which will be hung proudly at the school.

Congratulations to all schools who took part - and don’t forget to save as much energy as possible to help our environment!
