Exciting News: Our School Joins ResourceSmart Schools Initiative!
We are thrilled to announce that we have taken a significant step towards sustainability by becoming a part of the ResourceSmart Schools program. This initiative, led by Sustainability Victoria, aims to empower schools to make positive environmental changes while engaging students, staff, and the wider community in creating a more sustainable future.
What is ResourceSmart Schools? ResourceSmart Schools is an award-winning program designed to guide educational institutions on their journey towards becoming more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient. By participating in this program, we are committing to reducing our ecological footprint, conserving resources, and fostering a culture of sustainability within our school community.
What Does This Mean for Our School? Our involvement in ResourceSmart Schools will have a profound impact on our school's operations and education approach. We will be working on various initiatives such as reducing energy and water consumption, minimising waste, promoting biodiversity, and integrating sustainability into our curriculum.
Get Involved! We invite all members of our school community – students, parents, teachers, and staff – to get involved in this exciting endeavour. Together, we can make a difference and create a greener, more sustainable future for our school and the environment.
Stay tuned for updates on our progress, upcoming events, and opportunities to contribute. Let's embark on this sustainability journey hand in hand and make our school a shining example of positive change.

Calling all Gardening Volunteers! Seriously we NEED YOU!
Once a week Aasta holds a Sustainability Club during lunch time. The students are involved in all sorts of sustainability activities including; gardening, plant propagation, planting, harvesting, watering, weeding, nature hunts, data collection, go on excursions and so much more.
As our gardens expand, and the interest in sustainability increases, the amount of jobs and students attending is also growing. We are looking for some regular parent/family/community volunteers who would be interested in supporting this club.
So if you know someone who would be keen to get their hands dirty once a week or once a fortnight for an hour please contact Aasta via the office, Art room or on: aasta.dearnaley@education.vic.gov.au
