What is GCS?
GCS is a project run by the Centre for Environment Education (CEE) Australia with the support of the Australian Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. The GCS is an exciting international project under the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UNDESD) to encourage and support the teaching of Education for Sustainability in our secondary schools. The Australian Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, the Department of Education, Science and Training, Australia India Council, the Department of Environment and Climate Change NSW and the Australian Association of Environmental Education have supported this project along with CEE India and the Indian government during its pilot phase in New South Wales where a total of 26 schools from India and Australia (including the North Sydney Boys Environment Team) addressed sustainability issues in their local areas in partnership with their communities and councils.
Weekly Reports
Term 1
Weeks 8 and 9:
- Due to my (Yeshan's) sickness and the fact that we had come from a maths test and English assessment and Vinay had an economics assessment, it was quite an ordeal to complete the task due to our very limited timeframe.
- We managed to discuss how we would divide the task and we finished the night before we had to attend the conference.
- Altogether the conference was a success and was very insightful as to the issues facing schools in Perth and Turramurra in regards to their issues concerning water use and how they compared to those faced by North Sydney Boys
