A day of games where everybody wins when we all work together.
Who?
This program is to help primary school age kids in school as well as in outside school hours care.
Why?
The aim of this program is to help kids engage with the world around them to build a sustainable future. This is achieved through simple, enjoyable activities that raise awareness of yourself, your friends and your environment.
The foundation of this program is the ‘My Time, Our Place’ framework for school age care in Australia and ‘Every Student Succeeding’ State School Strategy 2018 - 2022 for Queensland.
When?
Three hour workshops are offered as part of your vacation care or school program. One hour classes, are also available during the school term.
Where?
We come to you, all workshops are in the school grounds, in the kids own backyard!
What?
This comprehensive program includes nine workshops. The workshops can be completed in sequence, so each workshop can build on the previous, starting with:
1. myself,
2. my community and;
3. my planet .
This is about kids, working with kids to make their world a better place.
About Me
I am deeply convinced that an awareness and connection with the natural world gives a strong foundation to life. Whether you are one or 100 little glimpses into the natural world are awe inspiring. We all deserve to live in this amazing world, not just on it!
With over twenty years’ experience in Ecology, working in diverse roles, I have a vast knowledge of our local ecosystems. I really enjoy engaging in my natural world for a more sustainable lifestyle.
