Eco-REEFlection Task
The Reef Guardian School REEFlection task was developed to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of the Reef Guardian School program. Since 2003, more than 300 schools have participated in environmental and sustainability projects and activities within their classrooms, their school grounds and local areas that help protect the Great Barrier Reef. These actions have been central in igniting curiosity and connecting students, teachers, their communities, and local environmental agencies to make positive changes for the marine environment. This fosters and promotes a culture of Reef stewardship.
The REEFlection task is designed to capture your story of connection to the Reef and what it means to you to be a Reef Guardian.

teaching resource guide
This teaching resource guide has been designed around an inquiry-based model to assist with incorporating the 2024 Eco-challenge within the classroom. Students learn key STEAM and life skills through inquiry-based learning, and we hope this resource compliments your teaching. We have provided subject specific Australian curriculum codes (ACARA 9.0) and have provided ways to adapt this to international curriculum outcomes at the end of this document. We have also aligned this eco-challenge to 9 of the UN global sustainable development goals.
