23.01.2022 Real life experiences provide such rich opportunities for learning. Through our bush school program we have the opportunity to spend whole days immersed in nature. We can witness firsthand the way animals behave in their environment, new growth that appears, the way our surroundings change after rain, how the landscape changes through the seasons and the powerful force of mother nature. These wonderful experiences not only shape our understanding but also deepen our connection to nature.

14.01.2022 The wonderful world of fungi! It is such a seasonal delight to see such a wide variety of fungi growing in our bush land. The vibrant colours, interesting textures and varying shapes and sizes catch our eye as we explore our natural play spaces. They are a fascinating and magical thing to explore. They play such an important role in the ecology of our planet that we feel drawn to protect and admire them.

05.01.2022 Early childhood education is one of the most female dominated industries. We are so proud of our diverse team with our males bringing many skills and qualities which enhance our program. We hope the number of males in early childhood continues to rise.

03.01.2022 Given our proximity to the bush and the nature of our bush school program, we understand the importance of minimising and managing risks. Today the children and educators engaged in an interactive snake and spider information session so we could grow our understanding and appreciation. It was fantastic to see the way these creatures react in different situations and learn safety and first aid procedures to help keep us all safe whilst still allowing us to enjoy our natural environment
