The Wollongong Environment Network (WEN) is an initiative of the Catholic Education Office that aims to support school communities to respond to Laudato Si’ and implement environmental stewardship and sustainability.

Below are some useful resources for schools in their efforts to respond to Laudato Si': 

•  Diocesan Environmental Education and Action Policy

•  The Environmental Education and Action Policy Self Assessment is to support CEDOW schools in their implementation of Policy expectations

•  CEO Laudato Si' Action Plan

•  Catch up on the latest environment news in schools around the Diocese with our environment news/blog: Environment Matters

•  Find your school's WEN Contact in our WEN School Contact Directory

Our CEDOW schools participate in the Vinnies Container Deposit Scheme. Find out more information about this partnership with Vinnies.
