The Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative (AuSSI) is an ideal opportunity for schools to use a whole-school-approach to reducing their ecological footprint.
The Scientists in Schools program is a national educational experience that brings together scientists and teachers for a one-to-one, ongoing professional partnership with the aim of enhancing science education in our schools. Once partnered, the teacher and the scientist decide how to combine their educational expertise and scientific expertise to enrich the science education experience of the students.
These organisations are involved in issues related to biodiversity conservation in Northern Australia.
