Today's school students will be the ones to lead society's transition to a sustainable future. We need to provide them with authentic opportunities to develop the skills and competencies that will equip them to lead that transition.
The transformation, described by the word "metanoia", is key to achieving a sustainable future.
Assess and inform the school on the impact that school related travel has, from daily commuting to overseas flights. Quantify environmental impact of school’s operations. Recommend ways for the school to reduce its travel environmental impact.
We empower PTA organisations to support community engagement opportunties.
We engage with suppliers to schools to improve the sustainabilty of their product and service offerings to help reduce schools' carbon footprint.
We partner with school leaders and their wider leadership teams to build their schools' capacity to become sustainable communities with a significantly smaller carbon footprint.
We develop students' eco-literacy and leadership skills through authentic project-based learning opportunities that utilise the campus as a living laboratory.
We support teachers in using the campus as a teaching tool.
We advise building committees and facilities managers on how to make their school campuses more sustainable, on feasible pathways to becoming carbon neutral, and on novel ways to fund the neccessary improvements.
Our Whole School Sustainability Audit identifies over 100 actionable recommendations. That’s an awful lot of opportunity for cost-savings. Some schools find they can achieve returns on the initial audit investment within a few years by effectively implementing the recommended operational upgrades and behaviour changes. No brainer, right? We’ll even help you put a roadmap together with a menu of options, and guide you along the way should you wish to continue to have ongoing technical support.
