Enough for all forever.
Coalstoun Lakes State School is committed to sustainability now and for the future of our society. At our school, sustainability is integral not only to daily life, school and student routines but embedded within school planning, teaching and learning programs.
The tangible link between the aesthetically pleasing and prominent solar power system and the solarschools.net integration in conjunction with the embedded information within our own sites and student launch pages, makes it easy for students to engage with monitoring of our systems.
Our school has a large solar panel system connected to the grid - a 4 KW inverter with 24 x 180 watt panels to offset our energy consumption and carbon emissions. The panels, temperature, energy consumption, generation and carbon offset can be monitored from the 'Solar Schools' information on our home page.
Students and families are encouraged to supply ‘nude
food’ (unwrapped) foods, wherever possible for lunches, which is a
viable option, given some of the innovative lunchbox designs available.
