Sustainability at Ivanhoe Primary School

A community thinking globally and acting locally.

As an educational centre, Ivanhoe Primary School aims to be a model for Sustainability in the community and beyond.

We aim to have a culture at our school that promotes respect for the future of not only our local environment but the environment on a global level.

At the end of 2005 we signed up to the Sustainable Schools Program co-ordinated by Ceres Environmental Park in Victoria and The Gould League.

As a community we have made a commitment to this program to practice and promote:

  • Waste Wise initiatives
  • Energy efficiency
  • Water usage reduction
  • Bio-diversity in the school grounds

This commitment is embedded in all ‘Learning Domains’ hence changing and moulding the culture of our school and educating the minds of the future.
