Our Early Learning Programs can be tailored to meet the learning outcomes of your group. 

Kinder and ELC groups often enjoy excursions to Yarran Dheran, Blackburn Lake Sanctuary or other suitable locations upon request.

The following themes can be explored during a FREE part or full day excursion, guided by a Whitehorse Environmental Education Officer. 

Excursion Topics

Exploring the Bush	Using all our senses to explore the bushland environment.
Habitats	Where do living things like to hide? Who lives where and why?
Caring for the Land	Acknowledging the land of the Wurundjeri people, lets learn to care for the land we all call home.
Minibeasts	What are they? Why are they important? Where can they be found?
Seasons	Seasons come and go. How do plants and animals respond to these constant changes?
Human Impact	What are the ways that our actions impact the environment? How can we make sure that we have only a positive impact?
Water	What is the water cycle? Explore the effect that it has on our bushland and city.
Day and Night	When do our Bushland friends like to snooze; day or night?
