Resource Smart Schools

GGS has also joined the statewide Resource Smart Schools (RSS) programme. The programme provides practical support to reduce resource usage, make cost savings and integrate sustainability into the curriculum. Regional co-ordinators like Environmental Education Victoria (EEV), CERES and Sustainability Victoria work in partnership with schools to deliver professional learning opportunities for staff, hands-on audits run with students and curriculum resources. In 2023, students from all four campuses will be encouraged to get involved in projects across one or more of four key sustainability groups:

• Blue – Sustainability and Community Leadership;

• Yellow – Energy and Transport;

• Red – Waste and Circular Economy; and

• Green – Biodiversity, Agriculture and Water.
