Abstract
Report prepared for the Australian Government Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. There is a growing interest in and support for education for sustainability in Australian schools. Australian Government schemes such as the Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative (AuSSI), along with strategies such as Educating for a Sustainable Future: A National Environmental Education Statement for Australian Schools (NEES) (Australian Government and Curriculum corporation 2005) and Living Sustainably: The Australian Government's National Action Plan for Education for Sustainability (Australian Government 2009), recognise the need and offer support for education for sustainability in Australian schools. The number of schools that have engaged with AuSSI indicates that this interest also exists within Australian schools.
