The Green Council action plan for 2011/12 outlines various initiatives to make the school more environmentally sustainable. They plan to [1] engage students and the community to help green the school through activities like a litter pick and gardening, [2] install solar panels and monitor their effectiveness, and [3] reduce the school's consumption of resources and waste production through recycling programs and switching off lights. The Green Council will also run a sustainability conference for local schools and establish international school partnerships to discuss global environmental issues.
