We offer learning experiences that cover a broad scope of environmental issues encompassing learning outcomes from a range of curriculum areas. The environmental program is designed to be as flexible and adaptable as possible to meet the needs of teachers and students. There are many in-school, centre-based and field programs covering environmental issues such as habitat loss and protection, endangered species, water quality and testing activities and bush foods and medicines of the Redlands.
