Our Silver Reflection
In 2019 our sustainability journey was moving forward...
By 2019 we had gained more confidence working with the Enviroschools programme . We understood the value of the 5 pillars . We were extending our reach, growing projects that help our community and care for our environment. We were developing more connections and our Enviroschools vision involved even more aspects of Kristin.
