Sustainable Schools is a free program offered by Green Adelaide to help you teach about and connect to the natural world, lead informed action, and enable active citizens. Sustainable Schools supports your school/preschool and local community to develop the values, skills and knowledge to take action towards sustainability.
The program aligns with the Australian Curriculum and Belonging, Being and Becoming – The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Sustainable Schools can help you to: develope a shared vision for your site's sustainability story; embed sustainability into your school/ preschool culture, curriculum and practice; link with other schools/preschools, school communities and service providers; design hands-on learning (for example, building frog ponds, vegetable plots and butterfly gardens); investigate wildlife and create habitat in your school and beyond; become a hub for sustainability education with your local communities.
- Through Sustainable Schools you can access: professional development training and networking events
- Climate action resources and programs to green and cool your school
- Youth voice resources and programs, including the Youth Environment Council; local information (including ID charts, factsheets and games) on animals, plants, environments and climate change
- Loan library of books, videos, curriculum resources and equipment
