Woodleigh School has a strong commitment to the environment, actively promoting environmental awareness in the student body and throughout the wider community via a number of programs and initiatives.

"Respect for Environment" is one of the Schools core values. Students participate in regular "clean up" days, particularly along the Mornington Peninsula's wonderful coastline as well as tree planting events.

Within the school grounds students, parents and community groups provide significant assistance to maintain an Australian native landscape and every effort is made by the School to integrate campus buildings in a harmonious fashion. The Senior Campus, in particular, situated on approximately 20 hectares and protected from future development in the area by a wide border of preserved land, has earned a "Land for Wildlife" classification from the Department of Sustainability and Environment.

The School takes this rating very seriously and it is actively monitored and maintained by staff and student activity groups. From the moment you enter either campus you can quite simply tell how strong the School's commitment to the environment is - it is part of the School philosophy.
