"The Brumby Government called on all Victorian schools to take this year’s ResourceSmart challenge. Environment and Climate Change Minister Gavin Jennings said Victorian schools can take the challenge of tackling climate change by entering the 2008 Victorian ResourceSmart School of the Year Awards.“Many Victorian schools are already doing a lot to reduce their environmental impacts both within their schools and their local communities,” Mr Jennings said.“The Brumby Labor Government is taking action to ensure climate change creates a climate of opportunities for Victoria and these awards are yet another example of how we can change behaviours across all sectors of the community.“These awards recognise and celebrate these achievements, and encourage schools to establish ongoing programs and promote behaviour change within our schools and by our future leaders.” Entries for the Awards are now open with all Victorian primary and secondary schools throughout Victoria being encouraged to enter.
