Education Kit
Cotton Australia has two Education Kits available for students and teachers: the Cotton Education Kit (digital resource) and the Cotton Sampler Education Pack (physical resource that we can post upon request - to Australian locations only).
Whether it is ideas for incorporating cotton contexts in the classroom, great teaching resources, or information for a school project, all you need to know about cotton is right here.
Designed for teachers and high school students, this kit is linked to dynamic resources such as video, websites, research, case studies, lessons and units. It also has syllabus links, with more to come.
