Sustainable choices and actions are essential to ensure quality of life without damaging the planet for the future. This requires a balance between economic prosperity, social equity and care for the environment.

Box Hill North Primary School is aware of its responsibility to promote and practise environmentally sustainable practices.  This approach reflects our broader focus on:
•    caring and respecting ourselves, others and the environment;
•    encouraging collaboration and teamwork and ensuring co-operation between school, home and community;
•    supporting all students in realising their potential through different learning styles;
•    creating responsible, cooperative, independent learners who find learning a stimulating and life -long experience;
•    developing sound skills in assessing various types of problems and using a variety of creative methods to solve the problems;
