Supporting environmental sustainability in Education

NRM Education supports early learning centres, schools, TAFEs and Universities that are interested in exploring environmental sustainability in their learning programs and management practices. We work in partnership with the Department for Education and Children’s Services (DECS) to implement the Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative-SA (AuSSI-SA). The AuSSI program is an internationally recognised, best-practice model guiding educational institutions in their exploration of sustainability. NRM Education also delivers Waterwatch environmental monitoring activities as well as the Weed Warriors program.
