We have been an Enviroschool for six months now and are really excited with the progress we have made and the possibilities for next year and beyond. Some highlights have included the arrival of our beehives, the fruit trees that each class planted and our vegetable growing, harvesting and eating.
Three representatives from Room 17 attended the Enviroschools Celebration day last Friday, where there were displays from other schools which was really inspirational and gave us lots of ideas for what we could achieve at our school. A fabulous storyteller entertained us and there was a delicious waste-free, locally-sourced and healthy morning tea!
We hope to be in a position to exhibit our sustainability journey at the Enviroschools Celebration this time next year. Watch this space!

Enviroschools Principles in action here:
- Empowered Students are enabled to participate in a meaningful way in the life of their early childhood centre or school. Their unique perspectives are valued for the knowledge and insight that they bring, and they are supported to take action for real change.
- The principle of Learning for Sustainability recognises the types of teaching and learning that foster student empowerment, decision-making, action and sustainable outcomes.
- Sustainable Communities act in ways that nurture people and nature, now and in the future, to maintain the health and viability of our environment, society, culture and economy.
