Sustainable Schools

Changing the way we think about energy, how we utilise it and how we can do things differently is a  huge step to reducing carbon emissions. Our energy programs are essential in educating the next      generation on how to protect our environment from unnecessary resource depletion.

NEW School Energy Audits - 2012

Partnering with Planet Savers we are looking to run Energy Audits within schools, as part of our Incursion Program  in 2012.  These are a great way to involve students in the auditing process and a great follow on activity to CERES Energy Excursion activities and to the CERES Energy Trailer.  

Keep your eye on this page for updates! To register interest so we can also email you updates, please contact Briony Tronson, Incursions Manager, incursions@ceres.org.au.
