Professional Development Course

The Principal/ Environment Coordinator

In 2005 our school will have …

"It's February 2005. You look out the window and catch Blakey - Grade 5's pet stumpy tail lizard sunning himself in your school wetland. He's oblivious to the "oohs and aahs" of the Grade 4's discovering the myriad life forms in their pond. Meanwhile your Grade I's are busily planting and weeding vegies (with judicious help from the Grade 5's) in the no-dig garden. Your solar panels are pouring energy (and money) into your school.

Actually it is simply beautiful."

Can you visualise this in your school?

Schools for a Sustainable Future is committed to encouraging, supporting and recognising schools to become leaders in practical environmental projects. We believe (along with 1500 international scientists) that the need to create more sustainable lifestyles is urgent. We know that the first and best place to start is in our schools

How can you begin?
