Teacher Feedback

“We would like to thank Jane Genovese for her outstanding presentation. Our Year 9 students were thoroughly engaged and came away from the entertaining and informative ‘Global Warming: To Hot to Handle’ presentation better informed and motivated to act on their knowledge concerning this very important issue and how they can start to reduce their own environmental footprint.”
