Welcome! This is a central space for educators to get essential resources that inspire action for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Whether you’re a schoolteacher, youth leader, community educator, or just passionate about sharing knowledge, you’ll find practical resources, lesson plans, challenges, and other activities that turn learning into real-world impact.
This guide is designed to empower student initiative, helping young Australians understand the why and lead the how. It’s about more than Clean Ups, it’s about growing active, informed members of the community who take responsibility for their environment.
We’ve teamed up with Cool.org to create resources and curriculum aligned lesson plans to help teachers maximise the success and impact of their School Clean Up.
Designed to make sustainability education practical and engaging, the lesson plans cover topics like litter, recycling, and the circular economy.
Our secondary-focused plans use data, systems thinking, and problem-solving to link classroom learning with real-world challenges – inspiring students to take meaningful action!
We’ve put together a toolkit designed to make organising your school Clean Up a breeze. You’ll find everything you need including helpful tips for registering, planning and promoting your event, as well as other useful information.
Calling all schools and creative students!
Our Schools Clean Up Day Creative Competition is live, in partnership with Coles.
We’re inviting Aussie students to create an artwork inspired by this year’s theme, “The Future is Clean.” The winner will score their school a $1,000 Coles voucher and artwork printed on Coles reusable shopping bags – how cool! T&Cs apply.
We’re thrilled to continue our work with Unilever Australia as our official Education Partner. After five wonderful years of collaboration, we look forward to continuing to inspire and educate young Australians on the importance of preserving our precious environment.
