SUSTAINABILITY @SPS

Our School is Becoming ResourceSmart 

Our school is taking action to become more environmentally sustainable through a Victorian Government initiative called ResourceSmart Schools.

ResourceSmart Schools is a program that helps our school embed sustainability in everything we do. We are aiming to reduce our resource use (like electricity, waste water) plus support indigenous plants and animals. This will also help us to save money. We also want to involve students, families and other members of our school and local community.

We are working with Leah Martini from CERES Environment Park on the actions of the Core Module. 

We have aimed to create a strong foundation for our sustainability program, continue to build on our sustainability achievements, monitor our resource use by using a free website called ResourceSmart Online, improve our gardens, improve our energy/waste/water systems, get our community involved, support our students and include sustainability in our curriculum. As this year is a bit different we are working hard with our leaders to set up even more great activities for 2021.

We will be sharing our achievements and tips with you to reduce our school’s impact, teach you how to reduce your impact at home and help make the Earth a better place for all and contribute to a sustainable future for all.
