APPEA has developed a number of educational programs for use in primary and secondary schools. These include the "Speaking of Oil and Gas" sessions which are currently only available to schools in Western Australia, and are delivered by presenters from the World of Energy located in Fremantle. The World of Energy also has a simulated visit to an offshore oil and gas platform for its visitors. http://www.worldofenergy.com.au/about_entry.html
The Petroleum Club of Western Australia, in conjunction with APPEA, has run the highly successful Schools Information Program (SIP) for year ten school students since 1991. http://petroleumclub.org.au/schools/index.html
The SIP is currently being examined for possible implementation in other states and territories.
