Why is Greensteps important?
Greensteps helps students to develop leadership skills and fosters an attitude of endeavour and fortitude, which are essential for thriving in the world outside of school. These skills cannot be learned exclusively in a classroom. By involving students in local and national community projects and environmental activities Greensteps encourages students to be responsible citizens.
