National Solar Schools Program: The Australian Government has recently announced the National Solar Schools Program which will provide funding to schools to install a range of energy and water efficiency measures.

The Program funding will be available until 2016 allowing enough time for schools to plan and consult with their community on the best options for their school. It is recommended that schools develop energy and water action plans through the development of a School Environmental Mangement Plan (SEMP). The Sustainable Schools Resource Centre has links and information on conducting audits, using monitoring tools and further education activities to help with this process.

Visit the National Solar Schools Program website for more information.
