and are linked to individual and community actions for sustainability” (ACARA,
2019). Similarly, the program also recognises the need for nurturing ways of thinking
and acting in ways that are beneficial to creating sustainable futures. Students are

on their own community in regards to our environment and more importantly our
future.
