National School Strike for Climate sees students across the country planning to skip school

Siobhan Sutton is an academically talented high school student, but is proudly choosing to fail a maths test today.

The test Siobhan Sutton is missing accounts for
25 per cent of her mark, but she says it is worth it.

She will get 0 per cent for the test because she will not be at school to sit it, instead joining thousands of students across Australia to take part in the global School Strike for Climate.

Inspired by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, the movement spread to Australia last October and tens of thousands of students nationally have taken part in rallies since then.
