The commencement of the Austra lian Susta inable Schools In it iative (AuSSI) in 2003, with its whole school approach, dramatically increased this focus (Department of Education and Training, 2005b). The pilot for the Western Australia n Sustainable Schools Initiative (WA SSI) commenced in 2005 (Department of Education and Training, 2005b) . A small independen t school, located in lhe Perth metropolitan area, was one of the twenty schools that participated in the WA SSI pilot. This paper will report on one project that was conducted at this school as part of the WA SSI.
