Teachers have one of the most daunting tasks imaginable; motivating and engaging a diverse range of students so that they achieve their highest possible standard of academic and social achievement.

AirWatch aims to provide a 'win: win' outcome for teachers, enabling them to meet the educational needs of their students while working towards a better environment for all Western Australians. AirWatch provides a real-life context for learning where students do hands-on practical activities that have relevance to the ‘real' world. To make teachers' lives a little bit easier AirWatch offers a range of products and services.

AirWatch have published two outcomes-linked curriculum manuals for use in the classroom. Each works as a cohesive unit/s, of work encompassing preliminary air-related physics and chemistry concepts, pollution (specifically vehicles, wood smoke, pollen, haze and smog), weather, climate change and action-based learning tasks. Alternatively, teachers can select single lessons or sequences of lessons as appropriate to their teaching and learning program. In addition, we offer incursions, loan of monitoring equipment, and on-call assistance when possible.
