How to become a Climate Action School (In Person)

Practical Strategies & Industry Knowledge to Lead Sustainability Change

About the Workshop

Join us for a dynamic 5-hour in-person workshop designed to spark real change and give your school a clear, actionable roadmap to sustainability.

In an energising and supportive space, you’ll gain currency and industry knowledge how to teach ‘sustainability in action’ aligned to V9 curriculum, leadership and school culture—using LEAN principles, resource recovery and circular economy strategies that align with Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) industry goals and emerging Industry 5.0 & 6.0 capabilities.

Through interactive sessions and school case studies—such as Woodridge and Shailer Park State High Schools—you’ll discover measurable ways to divert resources, reduce landfill costs, and activate student career pathways in the fast-growing green economy. Walk away with a tailored School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) framework, practical tools, and a Climate Action Schools Guide to keep your momentum going.

Every small step creates big impact — and together, we’re growing a generation of courageous changemakers.
