We’re bringing together passionate experts from various sectors to educate and promote environmental awareness and sustainability.

Together we can encourage students, staff, and stakeholders to take meaningful action by empowering everyone in our community to contribute to a better future and world.

By highlighting and honouring our collective efforts in environmental education, we hope to promote an understanding of our ecological responsibilities and inspire continued action towards a more sustainable and caring future and we hope you can join us.

This special event will also feature the presentation of our Catholic Earth Care Level 5 achievement, a significant milestone in our journey towards creating integral ecology.  Deacon Paul will be making the presentation of our certification, as we will be the first school in Australia to receive this status.

Sponsors
The inaugural MMPS Earthcare Expo is the first of its kind making it a unique opportunity to connect with industry experts and passionate pioneers celebrating our shared commitment to caring for our common home. An event like this is a big undertaking, from a little single stream primary school in the hills of Perth with 35 staff and 250 students with a limited  budget. Without our inaugural sponsors and friends, our MMPS Earthcare Expo would not have been possible. Thank you for your support.
