Let people know what you are doing through the schools website, newsetter, Facebook page etc. Show them you are committed to the program and that you want commitment from them too. You can use the LfS logo on all associated materials if you choose.

Create and electronic filing system that system that can be used to document and graph the work that you undertake, keeping track of all the information you gather in your audits for Energy, Water, Materials and Biodiversity. This should be assessed by a minimum of two people and forwarded to the LfS Officers to use when progressing from step to step.

 So that we can maintain regular contact with you and your team. We send out regular network newsletters as well as other updates. Nominate at least one person to particpate in and attend LfS network meetings. Please make sure your Director of Curriculum is one of those in your list (there is no limit). This information will need to be unpdated annually and will be part of the signing the annual MoU.

One of our Learning for Sustainability Officers is able to come out and visit your school to talk at a staff meeting to help outline the program.  This should have all teaching and adminstration staff. The presentation will contain some simple ideas to help you start to implement the program.

You will need to get a commitment form the school community; staff, students and even parents.  Develop a statement or vision that sums ups what you want your school community to commit to, be specific. Devise your own unique signed 'commitment to sustainability' for your teachers, staff, students and community. Be creative, this could be a poster, banner, signed document etc. 

The School Principal signs a Memorandum of Understanding which will declare a commitment from both parties to the program. A renewal of this commitment will be sought annually.
