Unlocking Tomorrow's Leaders: The Power of Your School's Sustainability Skills Centre

Australia's new Circular Economy Framework is here, and it's a game-changer. It envisions a future where waste is a resource, value is kept in play, and our economy thrives in harmony with the planet. But how do we get there? At Climate Action Schools, we believe the journey starts in our schools, with our students.

Imagine a school where 75% of resources are diverted from landfill, where recycling is decontaminated, and organics are recovered daily. This isn't a dream; it's the reality in our partner schools, thanks to our unique program.
