Resourcesmart Schools Program

SUSTAINABILITY VICTORIA (FACILITATED BY CERES)

2010 was the first year Beaconhills College launched an environmental and sustainability plan. In 2018 the College began working with CERES facilitators to become a ResourceSmart School. The ResourceSmart Schools program covers five learning modules related to Water, Biodiversity, Energy, Waste, and Core. Templates and guidance are given to complete audits, data reporting, action plans, and environmental management plans. There are also a range of activities to complete, such as signage, community engagement and resource efficiency swaps.

We now have our second SEMP (School Environmental Management Plan) which now covers 2023-2026. The SEMP covers our education and sustainability vision, resource use with future goals, current infrastructure and future broad plans for sustainability and efficient resource use.
