Orientation
 Resource usage in workplace
 In focus: Eltham North
Primary School
 Schools in Australia are
putting effort to manage
resource usage and ensure
sustainability through
learning and everyday
practices.

Sustainability: a relevant
definition
 The Australian Curriculum defines sustainability as “
addressing
the ongoing capacity of Earth to maintain life” (ACARA, 2013).
 The United nations’ Report of the World Commission on
Environment and Development: Our Common Future (1987)
defines sustainability as meeting the needs of the present
without compromising the well-being of the future.

Thesis statement
 Schools are a large community in a
given demographic region that are
responsible for a comprehensive
amount of resource consumption.
Therefore, a sustainable approach in
their daily activities may lead to
establish a responsible and
sustainable resource usage(Rickinson,
Hall & Reid, 2016). Also, as the
primary stage of learning and
development, kids can be imparted
with the knowledge of sustainability,
biodiversity, climate change and its
relevant measures so that they can
incorporate them in their future
practices and behaviours.
