What a hectic Term 4!
with SEMP's and Energy reports going full steam ahead, students, facilitators and teachers are all working to complete a successful year.
In regards to the recent NSSP decision to hold a moratorium on applications until mid next year we are left wondering where to go to next. Planet Savers suggest that you continue to get your quotes and system specifications together and fill in the application as far as possible. We are holding a number of NSSP information sessions over the last few months of 2009 and into early 2010 in order to help you out. We think it is fair to say that the process has to date been far from desirable. The Planet Savers team, along with many of our friends in the industry, are considering approaching local and federal politicians re both this recent decision and the roll out in general. If you care to join us - let us know via our email.

Analysing all the information from SETS, we were able to establish that our energy usage and carbon emissions were 300kW per student per year, which equates to 450kg of CO2 per student per year...
