About health and wellbeing

Sustainability isn’t just about caring for the environment. AuSSI-Tas students and school communities also enjoy improved health and wellbeing as a natural by-product of the educational activities they undertake while they’re learning and through lifestyle choices they make when doing things like choosing to walk or cycle rather than taking the car.

We’d like all our students and the wider school community to enjoy good health for life.
