PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE Projection until 2025

Beaconhills will continue to research and implement green building design for all new developments on our campuses and review procurement policies and end-of-life procedures for equipment.

We plan to install another 800kW of solar to achieve our net 0 target - meaning we will feed the same amount of electricity into the grid that we use.

Food insecurity

Students made substantial contributions to community as part of the Year 9 Common Good Project, aimed at not only increasing student knowledge of health and social challenges, but also providing the opportunity to give back and contribute their time to support not-forprofit groups and agencies.

Students explored the definition of food insecurity, its prevalence and contributing factors through actionbased learning. They then worked in groups to prepare minestrone soup for the local Vinnies Soup Van, run by St Vincent de Paul Society.

Students were offered a ‘walk in their shoes’ experience by The Salvation Army to provide insight into emergency relief models and what it looks like when you need to access support.

It’s hoped these experiences will encourage gratitude and help students understand the need to be less wasteful and more resourceful.

Beaconhills College will keep finding ways to improve our recycling and extend our service programs. Educating students, staff and families about the vital importance of sustainability is a key priority for the future of our planet.
