Green Schools Collective

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

— Speaker I am pleased to announce the commencement of the Green Schools Collective across North Sydney. Teaching our future generations about the virtue of sustainability has never been of greater importance than it is today, and the re-launch of the school environmental network marks the beginning of a brighter and greener future for our children. The initiative aims to foster a deeper understanding of and appreciation for sustainability and protecting the precious Australian environment we are so fortunate to call 'home'. It encourages students and educators to collaborate on engaging and educational sustainability projects, whilst also supporting schools to partake in environmentally friendly programs such as plastic-free canteens. The Green Schools Collective has a mix of 12 primary and secondary schools, including North Sydney Boys, Wenona, North Sydney Public School, Loreto Kirribilli, Cammeraygal High school, Cammeraygal Montessori School, Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College, St Aloysius, Shore and Redlands. I am so proud of the participating schools in our local community and their admirable and ongoing commitment to creating a sustainable environment for our children.
