Sustainable Schools

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 provides a range of tools, resources and support strategies to help you:

  • develop a shared vision for sustainability

  • embed sustainability into your school/preschool culture, curriculum and practice

  • link with other school communities and service providers

  • design hands-on learning (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.

Sustainable Schools aligns with the Australian Curriculum and Belonging, Being and Becoming – The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
