Now school life has returned to normal following the home schooling during the early days of COVID-19, schools are being encouraged to register for the Green Innovations Awards for 2020.

Designed to fit into the primary and high school curriculums, the competition taps into students' creativity to invent, develop and present innovative solutions for greener living.

Founder of the Green Innovation Awards and local chiropractor, Dr Bridie Cullinane is excited to be bringing schools together for positive change.

“During these challenging times, we need to come together as a community, inspire creativity in our students and generate the ideas that are the seeds to innovative solutions", she said.

With the deadline extended for this year, teachers have until the 3rd July 2020 to register and can enter a unit of work that they have already been undertaking with students.
