Lunchtime Workshop: Empowering Schools for a Net-Zero Future Launch of Innovative Opportunity Cards

Join us for a BYO lunch workshop and panel designed for students, teachers and other school stakeholders, sharing a new approach to support your school to reduce carbon pollution, with over 100 practical projects identified.

The focus of this method is:

• to understand what your school can do right now
• create a foundation to help imagine out-of-the box ideas

The cards were created (with expert guidance*) by Year 10 students of Hills Grammar, Redlands and Danebank schools, and UTS undergraduate students.

You will be blown away by what they created and inspired to do something similar at your school.
