It integrates educational, environmental, social and economic outcomes so that schools do not see each area in isolation but as components of the bigger picture of sustainability.

In 2013 our school started the Core Module of this initiative.
As part of this initiative, we have created a student action team who will be the environmental leaders of the school.We have drafted a Whole School Sustainability Policy and developed a draft plan for change for the future.
