Everything that we need for our survival and wellbeing relates directly to our natural environment. Sustainability is educating people about the environment, how systems operate and what we need from the natural world to ensure our survival. Sustainability and the Natural Environment is an important aspect of our learning program. We encourage the children to learn about sustainability by providing them with everyday experiences and exploration within their learning environment. Terrey Hills ELC has a Commitment to Sustainability which includes:
- Recycling Program
- Environmental Discussions
- School Readiness Roles
- Educator Roles
- Community Engagement
- Food Waste Management
- Conservation Practices
At Terrey Hills ELC, we believe that we have the responsibility to make sustainable education a part of everyday practices, rather than a topic or theme to consider for a short time. It is embedded with our learning program and curriculum. Sustainability education enables educators and children to promote a sense of responsibility, show respect for the natural environment, be active participants and bring about enquiry and social change.
