Imagine a generation of innovative and motivated young people, who instinctively think and act sustainably. It is a vision that is already becoming a reality for some schools through involvement in the Enviroschools programme.
Enviroschools a whole school approach to environmental education. With support from the school community, students plan, design and take action to create a sustainable school environment.

What is an Enviroschool?
The Enviroschools Programme integrates environmental education into the whole of school life, creating learning opportunities by working towards a healthy, peaceful and sustainable environment.
The Enviroschools programme aims to equip young people with the competencies they need to be leaders in sustainability. We see a world where students are actively engaged in environmental change that has significant effects on the school, community, nation and planet. We see young people with a holistic sense of the environment, and the ability to confront and challenge the barriers to a sustainable future. Students develop skills, understanding, knowledge and confidence through planning, designing and creating a sustainable school. Action projects, undertaken by enviroschools, have both environmental and educational outcomes that benefit the school and the wider community.
