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.
Our competitions give schools the chance to take part in meaningful environmental action while showcasing their creativity and teamwork.
Kick off the year with the Clean Up Australia Day Early Bird Schools Competition, get inventive with the Schools Clean Up Day Creative Competition, and join the excitement of the Great Spring Clean Up Competition leading into September.
Whether through hands-on Clean Ups or imaginative projects, students can make a real difference, earn recognition, and inspire their communities to take part in creating a cleaner, greener future.
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.
