Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative (AuSSI)

Picture
The Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative (Victoria) has evolved from a
program developed by CERES and the Gould League called 'Sustainable Schools' over 10 years ago. ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic  is currently an initiative of the Victorian Government and is managed by Sustainability Victoria, integrating state and federal programs and bringing together sustainability educators, facilitators and organisations.
 
ResourceSmart (AuSSI) Vic is a framework that integrates educational, environmental, social and economic outcomes so Victorian educators and students can actively build sustainability into everyday school and community life. The framework aims to help Victorian schools minimise waste, save energy and water,
promote biodiversity, and cut their greenhouse gas emissions. In short, ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic aims to provide practical support to schools
and their communities to learn to live and work  more sustainably. 

Pender's Grove were delighted to be awarded with their 2nd Sustainable Schools star in early 2017 and are currently working on the school's waste management as the focus for our "3 star" accreditation.
