sourcing and using recycled, unbleached, 100%
post-consumer paper for printed materials when
possible
implementing a virtually paperless administration
system
conducting student English level placement tests
online
donating old computers and mobile phones to
charities for re-use.
Carbon Emissions and Energy Consumption
Management and staff are further working to reduce
energy usage by:
installing energy efficient lighting, including open
plan offices and meeting rooms
minimising after hours air-conditioning use
smart-blinds to minimise energy used in cooling
and heating
installing multi-purpose devices to reduce the
number of appliances used and disposed
encouraging staff to switch off appliances and
equipment when not in use; and
using energy efficient appliances.

the guidelines of environmentally sustainable
design principles. Specifically, in relation to the:
fit-out materials
