To provide transformative environmental education to students, teachers and the community through high impact pedagogies, place-based experiences, up-to date environmental and educational knowledge, and powerful partnerships.

Our Purpose

To develop curious, confident and connected learners (students, teachers and community), by teaching and inspiring them to connect with, learn about and be empowered to take action for the environment.


The Teaching of Sustainability and Environmental Education​

We teach sustainability and environmental education through the Australian Curriculum, Senior Syllabuses and the Early Years Framework/Queensland Kindergarten ​Learning Guidelines. All of our programs have an environmental and sustainable focus. The programs are linked to these curriculums and the UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals. ​


The Sustainability Goals we focus on in particular are:

4.7: Quality Education

6: Clean Water and Sanitation

12: Responsible Consumption and Production

13: Climate Action

14: Life Below Water

15: Life on Land


Environmental Education is taught through:

​Knowledge and Skills

  • e.g. water conservation, water cycle, erosion, needs of living things, external features, scientific inquiry, observations, critical thinking, problem solving
Connection
  • e.g. creating a positive experience in nature, connecting to nature in different ways and at different levels, creating a sense of wonder and awe
Take Action
  • e.g. by planting trees, educating others, writing letters, picking up rubbish, walking on tracks, caring for plants and animals, providing management solutions to urban areas
