2006
Croydon Hills is the 2006 Waste Wise Primary School of the Year!
Croydon Hills is committed to providing our students with opportunities to succeed and lead. To this end we have implemented our Junior Leadership program focusing on our young leaders as Sustainable role models. This aspect of the program is being documented and tracked though our involvement in the ‘Teachers in Schools' Research Project in conjunction with Deakin University and the Gould League.
Croydon Hills has picked up a number of other awards, which recognise the enthusiastic student lead approach to environmental responsibility in our learning environment and beyond. These include 2002 and 2004 regional winner awards for Waste Wise school of the Year and 2004 state winner of the Litter Free Grounds Challenge. In May 2005 we were also finalists in the Proud Schools Category of the Sustainable Cities Awards. In November 2005 we received the top award as Sustainable School of the Year at the annual Waste Wise and Sustainable Schools Awards.
Congratulations again!!!
The school has now been judged to be the primary school with the best Sustainablity program in Victoria in both 2005 and 2006, in addition to being a finalist in three of the four possible award categories.
CHPS has also been successful as the 2006 Primary School winner of the EPA Ecological Banner Competition announced in October.
The Sustainable Schools program has also been included in the School Charter at Croydon Hills as an integral part of its Learning and Teaching priority.
