At Somerset College, sustainability is more than just an idea—it’s a way of life. Our campus serves as a dynamic learning environment where students can trial and test sustainable practices that make a tangible impact. From creek and wildlife regeneration projects to renewable energy solutions, waste management initiatives, and innovative recycling strategies, we encourage hands-on learning that fosters environmental responsibility.
Sustainability is woven into the student experience at every level. Our youngest learners in Pre-Prep engage with Munch and Crunch worm farms, gaining an early appreciation for waste reduction and composting, while our Senior School students lead entrepreneurial projects focused on sustainable solutions. Through these experiences, students develop a deep understanding of their role as global citizens, empowered to inspire change within their communities and beyond.
As a College, we are committed to integrating sustainability into our infrastructure. We continue to install solar panels and environmentally friendly features in new buildings, reducing our carbon footprint and setting a precedent for responsible development.
Other key initiatives include our mini farm, which promotes sustainable agriculture and food production; water management programs that focus on conservation and responsible usage; and air quality monitoring to ensure a healthy learning environment for all.
At Somerset, we believe sustainability is a shared responsibility. By equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and passion to drive meaningful change, we are shaping a future where innovation and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
