Sustainable Schools

The School Environment Tracking System (SETS) is a website created by Carbonetix to track school resource usage (electricity, gas and water), waste output and biodiversity development. 

CERES is working in partnership with Carbonetix and SETS to help schools in the ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic program track their progress in becoming Sustainable Schools.

SETS Auditing and Curriculum

Auditing is an important part of ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic.
CERES has developed SETS Curriculum Resources to help teachers and schools monitor resources and reduce their environmental impact PLUS complete task for certification.

Schools that have student involvement in using the SETS website as a curriculum tool are more likely to track and save resources. Schools that communicate resource use to the school community initiate positive environmental behavioural change.

Hot off the film SETS! A brand new multi-media SETS resource!!!

A CERES ResourceSmart facilitator, Kirsty Costa, has created a film to train students and teachers how to enter data into SETS. To save on carbon Kirsty developed this film to help some of her rural schools integrate resource data tracking into the curriculum and also foster student leadership.
