ResourceSmart Schools Awards – Sponsors
Sustainability Victoria is proud to collaborate with our generous sponsors to help deliver the ResourceSmart Schools Awards and to inspire our young people and schools to lead the way on sustainability.
The 2024 ResourceSmart Schools Awards would not be possible without the generous support of these sponsors.
Bank First
Bank First is proud to be the bank for teachers – the people who care. We're 100% owned by our members, which means our profits are invested into better products and services – and resources that aim to financially empower you. And we're not just about banking; we support the wider education community too. From donations to scholarships and awards, we're here for you and those you care about. Learn more at bankfirst.com.au
CDS Vic
CDS Vic is a recycling program that provides Victorians with a 10 cent refund for every eligible drink container returned. Every container returned reduces waste and helps build Victoria’s circular economy.
Over a hundred Victorian schools are recycling and raising funds with Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS Vic). The best part? The returned drink containers are transformed into all kinds of new things – new eligible containers, materials for construction, textiles and more.

Department of Education
The Education State is about achieving excellence, building a world-class education system and creating opportunities for every Victorian through education. The Victorian Government is prioritising education for our children, students and learners because they are fundamental to Victoria’s future social, economic and global success.
A great education system widens opportunities for all. It reduces the impact of disadvantage and empowers people with the skills, knowledge and experience they need to build healthy, happy and prosperous lives. Learn more on the department's website.
