Overnewton celebrates seventh ResourceSmart Schools Awards nomination
It was a privilege to attend the Sustainability Victoria 2026 ResourceSmart Schools Awards at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, 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.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
