Our Sustainable Year is a monthly calendar designed to highlight the sustainable practices carried out in the ECEC setting.

The Sustainability Calendar is an intentional teaching tool that allows you to purposefully and thoughtfully plan and capture learning. Holistic approaches are supported by focusing on connections with the natural world. Responsive learning relationships are supported with this monthly reminder to actively involve children in sustainable practices.

Write stories, draw pictures or stick in photos to document your month. Display your calendar for children, parents and assessors to view.

At the end of the year, your planning and or/ reflections can go towards updating your Quality Improvement Plan for the year ahead.

FAQ

Frequently Asked

×

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about this product.

Yes, the Sustainability Calendar approaches sustainability through 7 Rs which capture environmental, social and economic sustainability. For example, social and economic sustainability could be captured by Respecting the unique ways of using the land by the local community or Refusing to shop at a large supermarket chain and choosing to buy your ingredients for play dough from the local shop instead.

This completely depends on your service and how you want to show your sustainable practices! Many of our customers choose to use a Calendar in each room to highlight the individual practices taken by each room individually and a Calendar for the service as a whole that highlights the practices the service is making to move to sustainable practices. Including this as part of your QIP display is a great idea!

"This then links with our sustainability wall in our foyer. And so the team will usually pick something that they've written on here and they'll do a learning story about that. And then that goes to our sustainability wall in the foyer, which the whole centre contributes to."

This is a great question and a perfect moment for reflection, when considering community feedback, theorists, NQF, and frameworks, we found the answer to whether our paper-based Diaries still have a role in ECEC depends on numerous considerations of your individual service.

We found many customers are opting for paper-based Diaries or a blend of paper and digital due to accessibility and equity, engagement, collaboration, relationships, the pickup and drop-off advantage, children’s identity, creativity… and the list keeps going. Check out our article and make up your own mind on what’s best for your families.

The feedback we have received has shown a positive response to the Calendars that highlight core themes of Frameworks and NQS and act as a prompt to ensure these practices are built into your program rather than just ‘bolted on’.

These resources are great places to get your questions answered. You can also always get in touch if you can’t find your answer below.
