Chapman Primary School has had a successful Sustainability program where students have been involved in sustainable practices from preschool to year 6 including worm farming, gardening groups, waste management and energy saving initiatives. We have won many sustainability awards over the years and have been a certified 5 Star Sustainable School.
Early in 2023 our school registered to participate in the new ACT Sustainable Schools Program. This program is based on a successful scheme that has been operating in Victoria over recent years, offering a new set of modules and actions that must be undertaken to be recertified as a 5-star sustainable school. Chapman Primary School is the first school in Canberra to officially get the ball rolling! This year we are focusing on collecting our baseline data to set goals around reducing waste and electricity usage and increasing biodiversity.
