The Relationship of Kinship with the Earth and ResourceSmart AuSSi Vic

Catholic Education Sandhurst has been involved with the Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative (AuSSI) since its involvement in the state pilot in 2001. Sandhurst made an early commitment to having all schools undertake the strategic planning components of the program and giving support to teachers who are developing sustainability themes and projects at their schools. As a co-contributor to the AuSSI framework, Sandhurst schools participate fully in the state program with all processes, structures and outcomes being consistent with the state framework. As a development of the AuSSI framework that includes Catholic Identity and stewardship, Kinship with the Earth is directly aligned with ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic.
