Enviroschools

Enviroschools is a whole school approach to environmental education. With support from the school community, students plan, design and take action to create a sustainable school environment.

Changing attitudes and ways of living requires people to be involved in a range of projects and processes over time and a facilitation process, funded by Environment Southland encourages this, including a facilitator who has the ability to guide, motivate and support this process.

Measuring Change

Throughout New Zealand hundreds of schools are engaging in learning for sustainability – a holistic process that has a range of environmental, educational, economic and social benefits for students and their community.

Every year we see and hear of enviroschools diverting tonnes of waste from landfill, planting thousands of native trees and taking action to use energy and water efficiently. So how much change are enviroschools actually making? What difference does this make towards creating sustainable school communities and collectively, a more sustainable New Zealand? The Measuring Change Tool measures the physical environmental outcomes happening in schools.

The Measuring Change Tool was developed by The Enviroschools Foundation with support from the Ministry of Education and is available for ALL SCHOOLS to use, not just Enviroschools, and can be used by Early Childhood Centres through to Tertiary Institutes.

The Measuring Change Tool currently has four sections. You can chose to do all of the sections or one at a time. The sections are;
