School resources
Explore the range of resources available to support your school community, wherever you are on your sustainability journey. There are resources for everyone as well as resources for those who are using the Sustainable Schools Program Online portal, SSP Online.
SSP Online resources
SSP Online allows schools to choose actions, record data, set goals, and track their sustainability progress, all in one spot. You’ll need the following resources to support your sustainability journey with SSP Online.
The Core module sets the groundwork for each school's sustainability journey.
The Biodiversity module helps schools to protect and improve the land (school grounds and surrounds), the local ecosystem, and plant and animal habitats.
The Energy module helps schools reduce energy use and save on energy bills. Schools work on energy conservation, energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gases and improving air quality.
The Waste module helps schools to minimise waste sent to landfill and to save on waste related bills.
The Water module assists schools to reduce water use and save on bills.
