4th Annual World Environmental Education Conference

Next week my husband and I fly to Durban, South Africa as a delegate of the Australian Edcuation Union. The four day conference includes an opening ceremony, workshops, plenary sessions, poster presentations, a beach party and technical tours. More about the conference at:

After the conference we fly to Nairobi and spend 15 days on a camping safari in Kenya and Tanzania. It is 16 years since I travelled overseas and I imagine things have changed a lot. We will both miss the kids, but we will keep in touch! We are travelling with a company called Bench International with a good reputation for African tours.

Environmental Achievement Award

Back into blogging! Last week I attended the GHCMA Environmental Achievement Awards at the Hamilton PAC on behalf of Hawkesdale P12 College. We came home winners of the Education category, with $1,000 and a framed certificate acknowledging the work done at the school in education for sustainable development.
