5 Star Sustainability

Earlier this month Aitken College had a visit from Sustainability Victoria as we try and achieve our 5-star certification. Dominique Dybala (Sustainability Victoria) was taken on a tour of the school by our Sustainability Leaders to illustrate how sustainability is embedded within the school community.

5 Star sustainability certification is awarded to schools that have:

• Fully embedded sustainability in everything they do with ongoing, proven results.
• Demonstrated leadership in the school and education community: mentoring, sharing stories, attending conferences, hosting teacher network meetings and engaging with other environmental groups.
• Completed each of the five modules (core, biodiversity, energy, waste and water) and 
• Ben at or below benchmark for each resource module.

Dominique was very impressed with what Aitken College does in relation to sustainability and we eagerly await the outcome.
