Learning Through Experience school programmes
​Experienced educators and park rangers take students on a journey through curriculum-based experiences on environmental and sustainability issues. There are a range of hands-on programmes suitable for preschool, primary, intermediate and secondary students. The programmes will develop a connectedness to nature and inspire students to extend their sustainability journey. The purpose-built teaching facilities located in the parks network are a natural venue for hands-on experiential learning.
