From Landfill to Learning Lab: How Woodridge State High School Joined the Circular Economy

There's a principle in LEAN thinking that separates the organisations that transform from the ones that tinker: start with the end in mind.

Not the end of the project. The end of the waste. The end of the skills gap. The end of young people leaving school with no connection to the industries that need them most.

That's exactly where Climate Action Schools started when we partnered with Woodridge State High School.

We built the whole thing first

Most pilots test a concept. We tested a complete system.
