Sustainable Projects 301
This course is designed to help students get involved with environmental and sustainability issues in our community. We’ll be working together to achieve projects, and access lots of opportunities outside the classroom and potentially sign you up for short courses (like Predator Control, Urban Agriculture and Plant Management).
In the classroom we’ll be exploring our local environment, and work on actually making a difference. This will involve discussion, speeches, reading articles, writing reports, analysing data, problem solving, and planning skills. You’ll need to bring passion, a willingness to give things a try, and to take charge. If you’re already leading projects, our class work can support the work you’re already doing.
In previous years this class has created gardens, supplied rubbish bins, created podcasts, or organised tours for the public. If you think it’ll make a difference, you can do it in this class.
Any questions, come see Mrs van Echten.
