Ravenshoe changed lives week with their sponsorship with EarthCheck for these boys to attend this conference.

We got to interview them to talk about their Life On The Land from a First Nations POV.

This got excited because this SDG was made for First Nation storytelling and songlines work and these Year 8 & 9's highlighted something that should have been so obvious.

Their teacher told us they were buzzing with ideas on their way home on Friday afternoon, that conversation made the last 3 months of hard work to make this conference a success worth it.

Thank you for partnering with us on this of a dream to show kids they are key to hitting the target of 1.5 to save the oceans and the

Well, that's almost a wrap! So many amazing inspiring stories to share but first to commence our exclusive reef restoration citizen's of the reef program!

Next week we have 100+ kids coming from 14 regional schools and one international home school family, who are interested in STEM, entrepreneurial - monetising waste, and Circular Economy opportunities in education to our 2 day immersive to learn how to be part of the change.

WHILE still at school!

We are so invested in kids because it is their future and planet and they deserve to have a say in how it is designed and built.

This is our way to help them be not only part of the solution but leading the way.

We would like to shout out to Bendigo Bank and EarthCheck for being our two major sponsors.
