Sustainability

Our Vision

Sandringham East Primary School (SEPS) is committed to fostering a sustainable future. We will achieve this by integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations into all aspects of our school community, from curriculum to operations, and actively encouraging student and staff engagement in sustainability initiatives.

Our large playgrounds, oval and outdoor spaces feature landscaped areas with indigenous plants that create wildlife corridors, shade, biodiversity, and nature-based play spaces.
