The solution

A trip to Wirraminna is an immersive experience for the students and teachers.  The park is 5-hectares of restored woodland with lots of learning spaces in different settings, clear pathways to move around, toilets, tables and even an in-door discovery centre.  A ‘gala day’ means we come to you and make use of natural spaces in or near the school. 

The Wirraminna and Petaurus team offer programs and activities tailored to suit the location, group size, age, syllabus outcomes and the season. We have found that mixing ‘moving around’ activities like bush treasure hunt, ghost-animal bingo, ‘the glider game’ and macro-invertebrates, where the students move through-out the site, with contained sessions like the ‘Southern Corroborree Frog experience’, ‘Indigenous Art and nature’ and 'solar cars’, help the students focus, learn and hold their attention throughout the day.
