Wednesday 12 May 2021
9:30am – 3:00pm
Online via Zoom
Schools and centres working with CERES are invited to join us to spend a productive day of facilitated support on ResourceSmart Schools!
The workshop is designed to support Sustainability Coordinators and other teachers/educators and staff involved in Sustainability from schools working through the program. CERES facilitators will be there to help you make progress on the modules and Stars you are working on.
This online workshop is an excellent opportunity to network with other schools and centres as we bring together teachers/educators and staff from the Northern, Eastern and Southern regions.
