Sustainability Education Project

We are committed to Change

We believe that change begins with education

Cooperation is vital to achieve change for good.

We’ve partnered with the Solar Schools and Planet Watch program to deliver sustainability education to NT schools.

The Solar Schools education program:

  • Engages and empowers students to strive for sustainability from primary through to secondary school
  • Uses an interactive and digital hands-on approach to encourage students
  • Embraces science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) learning in the classroom and beyond

This innovative program is designed by experts in the Australian Curriculum and in sustainability, and offers a comprehensive suite of teaching resources, digital tools, and complementary educational apps.

Content is tailored for each year level, and includes detailed and complete unit plans, lesson plans, student activities, and extended learning material, which cover a range of defined learning objectives.

Check out the Solar Schools website to start your school’s journey to sustainability education. Over 1 400 schools have started their journey in Australia alone! Is your school on the list?

Planet Watch combines user interaction with educational content to bring digital technology into the classroom and home. The app is engaging and exciting, and helps add fun and immersion to learning about the benefits of energy sustainability.
