Realise major financial savings

Develop positive student leadership
Implementing sustainability measures at your school can save thousands of dollars each year.  In fact, between 2008 and 2013, ResourceSmart schools have benefitted from over $5.2 million in energy savings alone! We recently helped a primary school save over $27,000.

​So-Eco for Schools can advise you on the best ways to implement cost saving measures across water, waste and energy.
Students 'get' why we should be more sustainable and that's why they embrace it with such passion.  And the results can be amazing!
  • Leading sustainability tours for visiting schools and prospective parents
  • Presenting and running workshops at sustainability conferences
  • Sharing the message with the school community through newsletter articles, school assemblies and student competitions

Energise your parents & wider school community

Successfully implementing a sustainability program across the school takes a whole school approach. For example, rubbish free lunches simply can't happen without the support of parents.

​So-Eco for Schools can help stimulate parent and community engagement through Community Surveys, information workshops, establishing Sustainability Teams and developing action plans which help your school realise its environmental goals.

Build your school's reputation and brand
​

When parents are considering schools, their decision isn't always based on NAPLAN or VCE results alone. They're keen to see the school embrace broader co-curricular activities which stimulate and energise their child. Sustainability successfully engages students across the year levels and offers great leadership opportunities. 

So-Eco for Schools can help embed sustainability across the school and position your school as a community leader in sustainability.
