Other teachers say
The online program designed by CERES was excellent for the students as it was both interesting and engaging. The instructor delivered the teaching and learning activities professionally and they perfectly supported our current unit of work being studied in class.
Our boys loved the interactive nature of the sessions and they promoted much discussion afterwards as well. We would highly recommend CERES and we look forward to taking part in future online opportunities!

Yesterday’s sessions were really successful and engaging. The students were engaged and the content was specific to the year level. Tom and Justin were amazing at keep the students interested in the content and they really enjoyed the drawing and Kahoot at the end of the session.
Year 1 Teacher
The 'Towards Zero Waste' online incursion tied in perfectly with our Inquiry unit and the kids were really engaged the whole time, even though it was done over WebEx. Will definitely do another one!
Year 4 Teacher
We participated in CERES online waste incursion. Just like face to face, the CERES presenter was super knowledgeable and passionate. We learnt a lot and also took away fun project ideas that we can continue to do in class to promote less waste in our school and community.
Year 5 Teacher
Our virtual CERES excursion was an excellent addition to our Year 4 unit on sustainability. The girls were very engaged by the content and found it a fun way to learn more about strategies to manage our waste.
