Sustainability Connected Curriculum Report 2020

Year 9 turned to face some of the world’s biggest problems as they completed their Sustainability Connected Curriculum unit in the last three weeks of Term 4. The students embarked on a vast array of ambitious projects, first posing their own questions to a panel of experts on climate change which was chaired by the ABC’s Robyn Williams, OAM and included Fort St Year 9 student activist, Daisy Millpark. Hours of academic research, collaborative planning and cross-curricular endeavour led to the development of some radical and diverse initiatives, a number of which the students implemented themselves, in the best tradition of citizen democracy:  Hubert Vere Evatt, jurist, Fortian and co-author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, would have approved.

All student groups presented serious projects and are to be congratulated on their sincere responses to some of the major issues confronting our civilisation.
