5. GOAL 2 - Student engagement and community connections – practicing and promoting environmental stewardship, both in the school and in the community.

The guiding framework is to have all stakeholders - ministry, boards, principals, teachers and community members all come together and to model environmental leadership with the end goal being to affect life long behavioural change in our students!
