Environment

“We will heighten student awareness of environmental issues and provide opportunities for student involvement in environmental projects.” Ivanhoe Grammar School Strategic and Action Plan 2011-2015

Students are taught the importance of tending to the future of the planet. Round Square students are expected to demonstrate an active interest and concern for all natural environments, to be aware of proven problems and to play a practical role in tackling environmental issues. Students learn the fine balance and the interdependence needed to maintain a healthy relationship between human beings and the planet. Special programs, work projects and curricula emphasise each young person's destiny to be a guardian of the global environment.

A commitment to environmentally based activities may be undertaken in conjunction with the following organisations or groups:

Parks Victoria
Department of Sustainability and Environment
Greening Australia
School Based Environmental Group
Participation in Clean Up Australia Day
Landcare Victoria
Coast Care
Friends of the Yarra
Other as deemed appropriate by your Homeroom Teacher
