I asked our Year 11 and 12 students why Environmental Science was a good subject choice:

(1) You can get good marks if you work hard

(2) Good chance to get a year 12 subject under your belt in Year 11

(3) It has a bit of all the sciences – biology, chemistry, physics and earth science.

(4) A science subject is good for university pre-requisites

(5) It is an interesting subject that includes a lot of important environmental issues frequently in the media

(6) You learn how to advocate for a sustainable future

(7) You go on great excursions

(8) You learn about how the earth works, which is important, even if you don’t make a career out of it.

(9) Really interesting local case studies – wind farm, geothermal exploration, Portland Alcoa, orange bellied parrot and eastern barred bandicoots.

(10) Gives you opportunities to improve the environment for future generations
