Our Vision
SoGS is committed to developing a culture within our school community that recognises the shared responsibility to reduce our environmental footprint and promote sustainability.
We intend to create a balanced and equitable approach to the development of ecological programs within our curriculum that will enable our students to become informed, responsible, resourceful and respectful global citizens. SoGS is a registered Resource Smart School, committed to achieving 5 stars for our efforts.
Our Goals
- To develop an environmentally conscious culture at School of the Good Shepherd and its surrounding community.
