Session Information

Hills Grammar’s Strategic Plan 2022-2025 notes is relation to ‘Unique Learning Environment’ as inspirational quote by Dewey (1944): “The world is moving at a tremendous rate; going no one knows where. We must prepare our children, not for the world of the past, not for our world, but for their world – the world of the future”. 

This workshop will consider how our school community, students, teachers, and support staff can benefit from adapting a ‘sustainability’ mindset. Michaela will introduce the global concept of sustainability and then lead discussion and group work on introducing practical strategies that can be used in the classroom, work areas, and in life. 

Bring your laptop, a NESA Syllabus (or access online) and a Teaching Program to this session.
