What is the Sustainables Challenge?
Hosted by a family of cartoon super-heroes, The Sustainables Challenge builds student leaders to communicate ten simple sustainable actions that they and their families can undertake to make a real difference to our future.
Forty schools from across Victoria, including ten regional schools, are participating in this pilot program that extends the DSE's Victorian initiative, The Sustainables Household Challenge, into schools.
