Sustainable Schools

At Tribal Frog we have real passion and experience in bringing sustainability into all schools (state, private, independant, primary or secondary) at the classroom and curiculum level. We firmly believe that a sustainable school is a community leader and a role model for it's community and the schools around it. Students who attend a sustainable school are hands- on in helping our planet and they will be the ones who will have the knowledge and skills to be proactive in our planet's future.

Our products and services are aligned to the Australian National Curriculum and the Australian Sustainable Schools (AuSSI) framework.
