Best 3R Awards

The 3R Awards (based on the 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) recognise and reinforce the positive environmental effects which students and teachers learn about.

The winner of the ‘Best 3R Award’ will be determined directly from the schools’ SGA submission and will be based on a similar scoring system as the SGA Part A Questionaire and Part B projects.

Schools who have chosen to focus on projects for their environmental outreach project will stand a higher chance of achieving this title which recognises the overall best performance in the area of 3Rs. This award will only be awarded to one school per education level (i.e. pre-school, primary, secondary, etc.).

Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award

The Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award is awarded to the school with the best submission from each school level. This award represents the submissions that generated the most impact, excelling in environmental initiatives and community outreach. After every submission has been scored, the top scorers are presented to a separate committee to determine the winner for each level.
