Simone Cooke is an experienced Principal who holds a Bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and has extensive experience as Head of Early Learning at several of Sydney’s leading Independent schools.

Simone is a strong supporter of Be SEEDsational, as she is passionate about the critical role of embedding sustainable practices and environmental responsibility into children’s everyday educational programmes. Simone believes that Be SEEDsational’s innovative and  edutainment programme utilises an effective blend of technology, sustainability and interactivity to engage in meaningful ways with a new generation of ‘seasonal warriors’.  

Simone understands the importance of active involvement in learning and believes that Be SEEDsational’s messages of healthy eating, personal well being and sustainability, presented through an interactive and engaging forum, resonates with young children, inspiring them to become advocates for conservation and sustainability.

In her role as University mentor of young teachers, Simone believes that it is important that educators are constantly encouraged to find new and varied ways of building communities of involved learners through experiential learning. Be SEEDsational creates these opportunities for sustainability to become a shared-practice concern that promotes a deeper engagement and respect for ourselves and the world around us.
