We are a 100% Renewable Energy School
As the first milestone in reducing our carbon footprint, in 2022 we became one of the first schools in Victoria to procure our energy needs from 100% renewable sources. While 48% of our total energy consumption already comes from our solar panels, we now source the balance of our needs from wind and solar farms in south-eastern Australia, through our partnership with ENGIE.
Looking to the Future
Ultimately, we strive to become a Climate-Positive school. In consultation with CERES, an environmental centre, community garden, urban farm and social enterprise on Wurundjeri Country, Melbourne, we have set the ambitious target to be Net Zero by 2030 and beyond that, a Climate-Positive school. Working with CERES Consulting, we have a Sustainability Plan to help guide our school's journey and progressive actions across operations, education and community engagement.
