Sustainability at SPX
Within our SPX community there is a team of inspired students, educators and parents who are committed towards lifelong learning of sustainable practice and a greener future. We are inspired by our school motto of strength and kindness.
Making big changes towards a greener future can be daunting but it can be as simple as taking lots of small actions that add up over time.
Wipe Out Waste website has some inspiring ideas on actions you can take.

Some of those “small” changes can start with the lunch box. Check out this YouTube video that has great ideas on what to put in a lunch box. It contains lots of great strategies on how to plan for and prepare lunches in advance.

Nude Food is a popular term in schools, but what exactly does this mean? Simply put, it's food without excess packaging. Usually, this means food that is not processed, often making it a healthier and more environmentally friendly option.
Nude Food reduces the amount of 'stuff' that needs to go in bins to be sent to landfill. Durable, reusable containers are a great way to bring food, as they may last from pre-school through to high school and beyond, providing long term cost savings and environmental benefits.
