The program also features a competition element to recognise and reward schools for their Green & Healthy endeavours.
Keep Australia Beautiful Queensland assessors take into account every school's geographic, environmental, cultural and economic circumstances, and assess how efficiently and effectively the school community uses the resources available to it against a range of criteria, including environmental protection, litter prevention, resource management, youth initiatives, health, nutrition and fitness, partnerships and school spirit.
Green & Healthy Schools encourages schools to work at their own pace to achieve outcomes relevant to their school and their school community.
The program rewards activities that tackle issues such as environmental protection, litter prevention, resource management, waterwise initiatives, youth initiatives, health, nutrition and fitness, and community partnerships and action.
Green & Healthy Schools operates throughout the school year and features a competition that culminates in Regional Awards and the State Awards at Parliament House in October.
