Practical Sustainability for Schools

Better Systems. Less Waste. Stronger School Operations.

What if sustainability could make running your school easier, not harder?

School operations teams are already juggling a lot. Managing waste, resources, budgets, facilities and everyday processes leaves little time to explore new ways of doing things.

But sometimes small changes to existing systems can make a big difference.

Join Climate Action Schools for a practical, interactive 2-hour workshop exploring how schools can reduce waste, recover valuable resources, improve everyday operations and potentially save money along the way.

We'll share real school experiences, useful tools and ideas you can adapt to your own school — without adding another complicated project to your workload.

Who's It For?

The people who keep schools running!

• Business Managers and School Leadership Teams

• Facilities, Grounds, Cleaning and Operations Staff

• P&C Representatives

• Sustainability Coordinators and interested school staff

What We'll Explore

Less Waste, More Value

Discover opportunities to reduce landfill, improve resource recovery and potentially turn waste into savings or income.

Better Systems, Easier Operations

Explore practical ways to simplify everyday processes, involve your team and make sustainability part of how your school already operates.

Real Schools, Real Results

Hear what's working in Queensland schools and explore ideas, tools and resources you can take back to your own team.

What's Possible? A Real Queensland School Example

At Woodridge State High School, changes to waste and resource recovery systems helped achieve:

• 53% less waste going to landfill in just three months

• $27,000 saved in annual waste removal costs

• $6,000 generated in first-year P&C income through container refunds

A great example of how practical operational changes can benefit both school budgets and the environment.

Take Something Useful Back to School

Participants will receive the Climate Action Schools DIY Guide, featuring practical tools, templates and planning resources to help identify opportunities and explore next steps.

Curious About the Circular Revolution 2027?

This workshop is also an opportunity to meet the Climate Action Schools team and discover how we're working with schools to create smarter, more sustainable operations.

We'll introduce Circular Revolution 2027 and share how schools can explore further support and involvement.

There's no obligation to join a program. Come along, ask questions, share ideas and see what's relevant for your school.
