    Here is an image on sustainability to get yourself thinking about some interesting topics.


    What do we mean by sustainability? 

    Sustainability is all about making sure our needs are met in the present while also making sure future generations' needs are met. So you can interpret the theme of sustainability in many different ways!; for example, it could be related to a personal journey, whānau, society, economics, the environment, or many more sustainability themes. Watching winning films on our website may help give you ideas.
