Sharing a passion for all things green

Marist College North Shore and St Mary’s Primary North Sydney IEU members made their feeling clear with a strong show of unity during the recent stop work by Catholic staff.

This was the second TeachMeet hosted by the IEU, and Newcastle Union members were excited to share.

TeachMeets are a series of presentations run by the participants of the event. Speaking for two or seven minutes, the participants outlined their programs at the school. Afterwards, there was opportunity for participants to further network and discuss their initiatives.

The subjects of the presentation varied from chooks, rubbish, endangered species, watching plants grow, green days to creek regeneration. It was exciting to see such a breadth of interest and passion for the environment.

In 2015 Lismore will host its first ever TeachMeet. Environmental Sustainability TeachMeets are part of the IEU’s Environment Committee’s program. For more information about joining the program, contact IEU Deputy Secretary Gloria Taylor: gloria@ieu.asn.au.
