EnviroCampus - Waste Education in Melbourne's West

A mentored whole school sustainable operations and learning framework.

Combining face-to-face professional development with fully mentored comprehensive online education and resources, EnviroCampus provides a whole school sustainable operations and learning framework with a focus on waste education.

Seven schools in metropolitan Melbourne are enjoying the chance to halve their waste and save up to $3000 a year in Gould League’s new EnviroCampus - Waste Education in Melbourne's West project funded through the Environmental Planning Authority’s Alternative Penalties project.

EnviroCampus is a fully mentored, 12-month school program focusing on waste management. Schools participating in the current Waste Education in Melbourne's West project are receiving teacher professional development, student and teacher access to online curriculum, resources, tools and activities, networking with other schools and technical support.

What your school will receive

Participating schools will receive:

• a full day teacher professional development seminar with CRT funding,
• 9 months of student and teacher access to the online curriculum, resources, tools and activities (which the school can then choose to extend),
• ongoing mentoring and support from the Gould League’s experienced environmental educators,
• networking with like-minded schools,
• technical support.

In return, we ask that your school makes a commitment to participate actively in all aspects of the project to make sure you reap the most benefit and so all participating schools benefit from a dynamic project.
