Secondary school online resources

We have a range of ready-to-use class lessons developed by experts from the Water Matters School Education team that support the Western Australian Curriculum, including the sustainability cross curricular priority. 

You have the option of downloading lesson plans or using online videos with in-class exercises to supplement the video lessons. Our video lessons should be used in sequence to support continuity learning, the videos feature subject matter experts from the Waterwise School Education team.
