Eastern Suburbs Sustainable Schools Network 2026

Have your Say on our Eastern Suburbs Sustainable Schools Network for 2027 Thank you for being part of our Eastern Suburbs Sustainable Schools Network and for your participation and support. We’re looking ahead to 2027 and would appreciate your input on how we can make the network more valuable and engaging for local schools and centres. Following lower attendance at some of our recent events, we’re considering a new approach for 2027. Rather than holding an event each term, we’re proposing one key network event for the year, supported by regular newsletters and opportunities to share ideas, resources and stories through our WhatsApp group. Before we finalise our plans, we’d really appreciate your feedback. Your responses will help us shape an event that is relevant, useful and worth making time for.
