Sustainable Future
Our Sustainable Future Programme in Australia provides an immersive learning experience that allows students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the environment and its impact on wildlife.
Course Overview
Australia is known globally for its incredible array of unique animals and environmental habitats. From the Kangaroo and Koala to the Outback and the Great Barrier Reef – Australia really is a true natural wonder full of biodiversity.
BlueSky’s Sustainable Future Programme allows students to explore these natural habitats and learn about the ways in which we can protect this natural world around us. Key concepts will be reinforced by fun in-class experiments and field work in various regions around Sydney including soil and water tests. use of wind and solar energy etc.
