The Bush Classroom offers activities in Adelaide's urban bushland environments to school groups from Kindy to Year 9. Excursions are also available for Home Schooling groups.
The programs we offer are based on Environmental Education principles that aim to strengthen the ecological knowledge of individuals and society. We are passionate about students' learning through first hand experiences in natural environments. In order for students to gain an understanding of the importance of these special environments it is essential they have the opportunity to spend time in them.
The programs are tailored to year levels, themed, linked to curriculum and supported by a teacher's kit. Teacher's kits have pre and post activity learning ideas, information on relevant books, websites and apps and links to useful resources.
The Bush Classroom is a Commercial Tour Operator with Parks SA. A copy of The Bush Classroom's public liability insurance will be provided. All staff have education and science qualifications, current police checks and first aid training.
For Excursions school groups are asked to make their own way to the park to meet with the educator.
Many teachers are considering developing nature based education programs for their students. The Bush Classroom can consult with teachers with regard to familiarisation with their local environment and nearby bushland environments and assist with designing nature based programs that are based on environmental education principles and are linked to curriculum.
