Lilydale Primary School has joined the "Learning for Sustainability" Program, co-ordinated by the Yarra Ranges Shire Council. This is a 5 step Program aimed at educating school communities to become enviornmentally sustainable in their behaviours and everyday practices. Currently our school is working through Step 2 of the Program. We hope to complete this step by mid 2009. Some of the initiatives we've undertaken to date include: -
- Rubbish free lunch day
- Walk to school day
- Installing pupil made rain gauges around the school
- Increasing paper recycling
- Installing sensors on lights, heaters and coolers
- Keeping records detailling animal and birds in our grounds
- Composting
