Learning about our Earth…the planet that we live on.
Our project is a collaborative partnership between schools, industry and professional associations. We work together to provide students with engaging learning in Earth and Environmental Science, foster their better understanding of contemporary local and global environmental issues, empower their participation in informed debate. We support teachers with resources, training and funding to help teach Earth and Environmental Science in their schools. We have a particular focus on the Australian Curriculum and the need to provide high quality enquiry based teaching and learning for the Earth and Space sub-strand of the F-10 Science curriculum and the emerging senior secondary Earth and Environmental Science course.

It is such an important subject for our young people to learn about so that they can be knowledgeable future leaders, enabled to make the changes needed to sustain our planet after so much damage has already been done.
It is indeed a branch of the Sciences that needs to be placed with more prominence in the curriculum and I do believe the work you are doing is of vital significance and highly valued.

The GPP encourages students to consider study and training pathways for careers across the range of earth science, including energy transition, environmental geoscience and careers in the exploration and extraction of the minerals and renewable energy that are critical for the well being of society.
The GPP aims to help provide students with the necessary scientific skills to critically navigate the transition to a low carbon economy and to assist in the development of a sustainable future of our country and planet.
