Post by Overnewton Anglican Community College

It was a privilege to attend the Sustainability Victoria 2026 ResourceSmart Schools Awards at the Melbourne Cricket Ground yesterday, where Overnewton celebrated its seventh nomination. This year, our Synergy Sustainability Leader, Natalie Di Sauro, was recognised as a finalist in the Teacher of the Year (Secondary) category, acknowledging her outstanding contribution to sustainability education and environmental leadership. Natalie and fellow Synergy leader Josh Reeves were joined by students with a passion for sustainability and spent the day exploring the inspiring projects on display by schools from across Victoria as part of the 2026 Sustainability Showcase. The event provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to connect with like-minded young people, discover innovative sustainability initiatives, and celebrate the collective impact schools are making towards a more sustainable future.
