Our Curriculum – Teacher Testimonials

“Cool Australia is far the best resource I have used as a teacher. I have used many websites to aid my teaching but Cool Australia is so easy to use, very useful…I have encouraged all the staff to use the website in their planning. Keep it happening!”

“Cool Australia’s notebook files are the best I have used.”

“I found Cool Australia to be the best (resource) – I stopped looking when I found it.”

 “They inspire and encourage me to expand my creative skills and approaches in the classroom by incorporating sustainability and environment messages into my lessons.”

“As the lessons are interactive and engaging. Students love them and as a teacher I love the fact they take some of the leg work out of my lessons and allow me to spend more time working on the outdoor gardens etc.”
