Eastern Suburbs Sustainable Schools Network 2026

Have your Say on our Eastern Suburbs Sustainable Schools Network for 2027

Thank you for being part of our Eastern Suburbs Sustainable Schools Network and for your participation and support. We’re looking ahead to 2027 and would appreciate your input on how we can make the network more valuable and engaging for local schools and centres.

Following lower attendance at some of our recent events, we’re considering a new approach for 2027. Rather than holding an event each term, we’re proposing one key network event for the year, supported by regular newsletters and opportunities to share ideas, resources and stories through our WhatsApp group. 

Before we finalise our plans, we’d really appreciate your feedback. Your responses will help us shape an event that is relevant, useful and worth making time for.

About our Network 

The Eastern Suburbs Sustainable Schools Network (ESSSN) is for educators from early learning to high school. The Network provides free professional development on a wide range of topics, opportunities to connect with like-minded teachers from other schools and to hear from Council about the resources available to schools.

The Eastern Suburbs Sustainable Schools Network meetings are organised by Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra Councils.
