Green & Healthy Schools
encourages schools to develop a green and healthy philosophy
and to tackle a
range of issues at the school level, including nutrition, waste minimisation,
energy usage, litter and recycling.
The
program gives students, teachers, parents and friends the chance to take
part in a range of
initiatives that develop the educational, personal and
social benefits that come from caring for self,
the community and the
environment. Schools that
register for the program
are provided with a
comprehensive resource kit covering everything from
school environmental audits
to curriculum-based classroom activities.
Registration is free and open to all Queensland schools. The program also
features a competition
element to recognise and reward schools for their
Green & Healthy endeavours.
