EnviroCampus

Mentored whole school sustainable operations and learning framework - Places now open

Would your school like the chance to save up to $3000 per year and halve your waste to landfill? Is your school in Melbourne’s western suburbs? Apply now for a limited number of places in our new EnviroCampus project funded through the EPA Alternative Penalties project.

Introducing EnviroCampus

Combining face-to-face professional development with fully mentored comprehensive online education and resources, EnviroCampus provides a whole school sustainable operations and learning framework with a focus on waste education.

Whether your school is just beginning its sustainability journey or is already well on its way, EnviroCampus has something to offer. The EnviroCampus Online learning and auditing program allows your students and teachers to interact and share stories with other participating schools, access waste curriculum resources, tools and activities and measure and compare the benefits of your achievements.

The funded project will be available on application to schools in Melbourne’s western suburbs to run throughout 2010. Limited places are available and all government, catholic and independent schools are invited to register now.

What your school will receive

Beginning in term 1, 2010, participating schools will receive:

• a full day teacher professional development seminar with CRT funding,
• 12 months of student and teacher access to the online curriculum, resources, tools and activities (which the school can then choose to extend),
• ongoing mentoring and support from the Gould League’s experienced environmental educators,
• networking with like-minded schools,
• technical support.

In return, we ask that your school makes a commitment to participate actively in all aspects of the project for the full 12 months to make sure you reap the most benefit and so all participating schools benefit from a dynamic project.
