Partners

We work with aligned partners who are on a journey to support environmental educators

School students collecting and recycling Return and Earn containers

Return and Earn

Sustainable Schools NSW is partnering with Exchange for Change, supporting school communities to engage in the NSW Return and Earn program. Our partnership has involved highlighting good practise through case studies, research into needs and opportunities for schools participating in the program, developing curriculum linked teaching resources, providing teacher professional learning opportunities, and celebrating success through an annual awards program.

In 2025 we are delivering a pilot program with non-government schools, identifying key components of effective container collection projects in schools. Keen to be  involved in the pilot, email us at [email protected] 

MidWaste Green Leaders

Sustainable Schools NSW is partnering with MidWaste Regional Waste Forum to deliver the Green Leaders education program. This includes professional learning opportunities for teachers and early childhood educators and coordinating regional schools networks in Coffs Harbour and Bellingen/Nambucca. Green Leaders provides real-world learning opportunities for educators to take action to reduce their waste and improve their school environment.  

Sustainability Connect 

Sustainability Connect is a collaborative sustainability education directory between educators, organisations, businesses and government to foster environmental stewardship across NSW. The directory is developed and managed by  Environmental Education NSW and aims to:

  • support cross-pollination and collaboration between services and providers across sectors (e.g. schools and community) and geographic regions.
  • promote, raise the profile and increase the accessibility of services and products supporting sustainability education outcomes. For example, consultants running training courses.

Businesses that support environmental, sustainability and wellbeing outcomes in NSW are encouraged to join our community and join up to Sustainability Connect. 

Sustainable Schools NSW acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present. 

We are committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
