Nara Community Early Learning Centre is committed to creating a cleaner, healthier environment for our community by promoting sustainable practices. These practices include: 

• Embedding sustainability into our policies, procedures, decision-making and values to minimise our impact now and into the future. 

• Role modelling behaviours that value and protect the environment. 

• Engaging children in sustainable practices building a sense of responsibility. 

Through our Sustainability Commitment Statement, we aim to: 

• Communicate, educate, and support sustainability awareness among children, families, educators, visitors, and the wider community. 

• Provide educators with professional learning and resources to embed sustainability across the program. 

• Comply with relevant legislation, regulations, and environmental standards where possible. 

• Promote sustainability by reducing waste, minimising consumption, and protecting wildlife and natural habitats.

• Demonstrate exceeding practices aligned with the National Quality Standard, particularly Element 3.2.2.  

• Evaluate and critically reflect on current practices to identify new opportunities and goals for improving sustainability.
