As part of The Point Preschool’s strong commitment to sustainability, we host an annual Sustainability Expo to showcase our sustainable practices and to spread the word about sustainability to the community.
Our Sustainability Expo provides the children and staff with an opportunity to take our sustainable message outside the doors and gates of the preschool into our local community.
Our expo is also an opportunity to showcase local businesses and organisations that are committed to sustainability. We welcome partnerships with these businesses and organisations and extend an invitation to these organisations to contact us if you’d like to be a part of our sustainability expo.
