" Working towards the equitable, efficient and sustainable use of water, land and other environmental resources of the Queensland Murray Darling Basin "

Sustainable Schools

What is QESSI?

Queensland Environmentally Sustainable Schools Initiative (QESSI) is a joint initiative of the Australian and Queensland Governments with the aim of encouraging all Queensland schools to become environmentally sustainable.

The initiative provides an holistic approach to environmental education and supports schools to integrate sustainability across all areas of operation and curriculum.

QESSI does not seek to replace other environmental education initiatives in schools. It is an alliance approach to support existing environmental education programs in schools. For more information click here.

The Queensland Murray-Darling Committee (QMDC) in partnership with Amaroo Environmental Education Centre (Amaroo EEC) have formed the Darling Downs QESSI Hub to support Sustainable Schools in the Darling Downs and south-west Queensland region.
