the future is in our hands
We have been working hard over the last few months to develop a sustainability program to be implemented by the staff and students at our school. Environmental sustainability is one of the most pressing issues facing today's society and we must act fast to preserve the environment and its valuable resources that we have taken for granted for far too long.
Our mission is to improve our community through raising awareness of environmental sustainability practices.Through engaging staff and students in the implementation of these sustainability practices we aim to preserve the environment for future generations to enjoy.Our motto is "GREEN SCHOOL, GREEN FUTURE".
We have looked at what other schools and businesses are doing to develop strategies that we can put into place in the day to day operations of our primary school. We have set ourselves some ambitious targets that we beleive we will be able to achieve with the support of the staff, students, their families and the community as a whole.
In working towards these targets we hope to raise awareness of the need for environmental sustainability practices within our
daily lives, and show the students how a few simple things can go a long way towards achieving these goals. Through these strategies we hope to lay the foundations for a lifetime of responsible use of resources, and set an example for the community as a whole. The conservation of resources will also be beneficial to the school community in that it will allow reductions in costs, and the savings can be reinvested into their education and future upgrades to the school.
We will be focussing on waste management, power, water, and pollution, and will be looking to expand our strategies every year with the help and input of staff, students and their families. We encourage all parents to talk to their children on the progress of these strategies and see if they can adopt some of these ideas in their own households as well.
We have been leaders in quality education for many decades already, now its time to be leaders in the move towards a sustainable future for our children.
