Educating our next generation
Leaving a lasting impression on future generations is a key driver of our educational partnership activities.
ENERGEX Playasaurus Place
This five-year partnership between ENERGEX and the Queensland Museum involved redeveloping the Museum's Dinosaur Garden with new exhibits.
The partnership provided us with a unique and innovative way to communicate positive and proactive energy messages to the wider community.
As well as providing an opportunity for close encounters with dinosaurs, the display communicates the energy practices available to safeguard our environment for the enjoyment of future generations.
Visitor favourites, Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, remain key features of the new exhibition but are complemented by a range of hands-on, interactive displays.
Junior Landcare Activity Days
Young people, more than ever before, are highly aware of the environment and the need for action and change to ensure a sustainable future.
Junior Landcare Activity Days focus on experimental learning.
They provide students with the chance to get their hands dirty by planting a tree, identifying bird species or counting water bugs.
ENERGEX's Bright Futures Program
ENERGEX's Bright Futures Program sponsors local students from various schools across South East Queensland to attend events hosted by the Committee for Economic Development Australia (CEDA).
It provides students with an invaluable opportunity to gain insight into critical challenges facing the Australian business community.
Over the years, many local students have met premiers, government ministers and notable men and women in the business community through ENERGEX's Bright Futures Program.
Schools are regularly invited to nominate students to attend CEDA events held throughout the year.
Visit our Switched On website for more information or submit the CEDA Nomination Form to nominate your school's students.
ENERGEX Race Around the Ekka Film Competition
This competition allows schools across Queensland to experience working in the movie industry.
Leading up to the final night of Ekka 2011, teams of students worked hard to plan, script, perform in, direct and shoot a 60-second film about the 'sights and sounds of the Ekka.'
