The finalists for the ResourceSmart Schools Awards for 2020 have been announced.

The theme for 2020 is ‘people and the planet’, celebrating how we use our humanity – our knowledge, care and passion – to look after the environment, and how looking after the planet contributes to our wellbeing in return. The finalists showcase incredible efforts of principals, teachers, students, parents and volunteers, and spotlight the impactful and inspiring work of Victorian schools to care for the environment.

The winners will be announced on Friday 5 June. Congratulations to the following Catholic schools, announced as finalists in this year’s awards:
