• The Sustainable Schools Program is a free program that specialises in supporting all ACT schools and their community to take climate action, reduce their emissions and improve their sustainability.

• The program helps schools across five focus areas to: manage their water, energy, waste, increase and protect biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions including from transport.

• Each year, schools are rewarded for their sustainability efforts and outcomes through the Climate Choices Schools Awards.

• The Sustainable Schools Program provides a range of assistance including site visits and advice from specialist staff, best practice guides, professional learning for educators, case studies, the SSP Online tools, interactive and curriculum linked resources, as well as linking schools and their community to other service providers.
