Preview Bright Buddy at Bright Future Sustainable Living STAND 313 at the School Resources Expo!
Bright Future comprehensive sustainability education program for Levels 1–4 announces Bright Buddy, Australia’s first secure online sustainability forum for teachers and students, at the School Resources Expo.
A unique tool to build purposeful relationships, share stories, files, photos and create global community, Bright Buddy makes it easy for teachers to show young students how to use the amazing power ICT puts at their fingertips purposefully, to ‘save the world.’
While becoming a virtual superhero may sound far-fetched, leaders in the fast developing field of school ICT insist children need to learn to use the power of online communication with a sense of real purpose.
Bright Buddy forum co-founder Tomas Molloy said “Bright Buddy empowers teachers and students to not only showcase their school’s work in sustainability but also network with others to tap their knowledge, experience and importantly build relationships and a real sense of community.
“The inspiration to keep building a sustainable future rests on a sense of connection with others working together around Australia and the world and Bright Buddy facilitates that.”
As teachers and students communicate they utilise key curriculum skills and create a library of case studies, knowledge and experience for others to tap into any time. It also gives teachers and students opportunity to actively help others in their sustainability initiatives.”
Designed for ease of use and security, the forum enables sharing on popular topics including:
- School Sustainability Policy & Aims
- Sustainability Projects
-ENERGY
-WATER
-WASTE
-BIODIVERSITY
-BUILT ENVIRONMENT
-EDUCATIONAL
- Photographs, Video, Diagrams of projects
- Project Evaluation & Suggestions
- Future Sustainability Projects
- Virtual classroom

Today, everywhere, schools, teachers and parents seek to bring sustainability into action in campuses and classrooms. Bright Future Education recognises environmental degradation as the most urgent issue of our times and we are committed to producing practical solutions.
Change begins with education so we developed Bright Future Education Program, a comprehensive education program for levels 1-5 incorporating:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social science
- ICT.
Developed by teachers for teachers BRIGHT FUTURE PORTAL is an online educational resource that makes it quick and easy to teach about global warming, renewable energy and sustainable living practices whilst fulfilling the curriculum!
Save time using our fully prepared curriculum including planning, backline masters, answers, resources and rubrics that can flexibly meet the needs of all children. Engaging and fun for kids, there are games, reference materials and links for further investigation.
The Bright Future teacher workshop is being conducted by our team today in picturesque Bellbrae, nestled in a valley between Anglesea and Geelong.
Today, Leopold Primary School will receive their first Bright Future Teacher Work Shop at Leopold Primary School. Ros, Tom and Debi will run through the program with Glen and his colleagues.
