Sustainable House Day provides people with the opportunity to visit homes where owners have put sustainable living into practice.

The Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative – WA (AuSSI – WA) website provides a framework that supports schools in the development of a whole-school approach to Education for Sustainability.

DETWA teachers can access the following  TLF  Learning Object exploring energy efficient housing via the DET Portal:

• Energy Efficient House

The CMIS webpages for  Sustainable Development and  Sustainable Schools provide links to a wealth of resources to support units of work on this theme.

Cyberbullying has become more high profile in the community in the last few years as technology such as mobile phones and the Internet become more pervasive.

Funding from the Australian Government is producing new research, such as this done locally at Edith Cowan University. How to deal with the problem of the bullying from a school perspective is under discussion with the Cyber Bullying Intervention program, also under way at ECU.

For a range of Australian and international information and research, the CMIS Cyberbullying webpage provides links to some of the major work currently underway.

We have also started a Cyberbullying list in Delicious and will add new resources as they come to our attention. If you have access to an RSS reader or make yourself an igoogle page, you can subscribe to this Delicious list and get an alert as we add new items.
