The Environment Committee (TEC)

Woodlawn's 'Charter for Sustainability' is creating a College community and culture conscious of the need to care for and nurture our environment for an environmentally sustainable future. Our students are elected to the Youth Environment Council, that meet once a term to develop strategies to help make our College sustainable. By simple acts of recycling scrap paper, turning off lights in vacant classrooms and using the correct bin, we can be eco-friendly in the classroom and College grounds. St John's recognises that environmental issues are fundamental to the future health and wellbeing for those involved in our College, the greater community and our planet. Thus, we seek to understand the impact of our activities on the enviroment at local, regional and global levels, to minimise these impacts and to find sustainable solutions to environmental concerns. For all living things, Earth is our home. We are one earth community and all species have a right to exist and we have a responsibility to care for the Earth.

Purpose

The purpose of our charter is to outline the principles, aims and guidelines necessary for our Woodlawn community to consider the past, to address the needs of the present, whilst respecting the future to create an environmentally sustainable world.

Our Vision

To create a sustainable environment and respectful culture, which reflects the Pope Francis' Laudato Si, that enables all to live sustainably into the future.

Our Mission

To engage our College community in activities that empower students, staff, parents and community members with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to achieve a sustainable future. We will respect our natural environment and the resources it offers us and provide a quality teaching and learning environment for all.

Our Achievements

In 2014 our efforts were rewarded by achieving a Bronze Award in the Eco-Schools Program.

The Silver Award, received in 2015, is a milestone in our College’s progression towards environmental sustainability and in environmental education becoming strongly integrated across the school’s curriculum.

2017 saw Woodlawn involved in the Big Scrup Rainforest Schools Project and winning the Young Reporters of the Environment.

In 2019 we were the Secondary Schools Green Innovation Awards champions.

We are striving for our Eco Schools Green Flag in 2020.
