Empower students to create a sustainable future.
Nurture inquisitive and engaged learners
Today, many teachers advocate cross-curricular approaches that bring relevance and meaning to student learning.
Cross-curricular learning helps make practical connections between subjects, and equips young people with the skills, knowledge and understanding to prosper in a globalised world.
But it can be challenging finding time to plan teaching and assessment that engages learners and meets cross-curriculum priorities.
Inspired energy education with impact
Green Galaxies is an innovative educational program that makes it easy amd exciting to teach school students about energy efficiency.
Learning experiences are based on your school's own energy data, supported by comprehensive teacher resources and interactive digital tools.
