Are you a ResourceSmart School working with CERES?

YesNoNo, but I'm interested in finding out moreI'm not sure
ResourceSmart Schools is a Victorian government funded program that supports schools to embed sustainability initiatives into their schools, and in doing so, significantly reduce their resource use, and potentially save thousands of dollars. CERES is a service provider of this program in the Northern and Southern Melbourne Metropolitan regions. To find out more, and/or register, please visit our website.
