Excursion Topics
Threads of Connection: People, Places and Nature
Live, Work, Play. Whitehorse has been home to the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people for thousands of years. Let’s explore some of the changes to our neighbourhood that have occurred since the beginning of colonialisation. How should we balance enjoying and caring for nature while minimising our impacts?
The Web of Life: Biodiversity and Ecosystems
The world around us is diverse and delicate. But how are plants, animals and even non-living things in our environment interconnected? What is biodiversity and why is it important?
Caring for Country
This is Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. Let’s celebrate this living culture with stories, games and knowledge that has been generously shared with us. Explore how nature provided all the food, fun, medicine and everyday items that the Wurundjeri people used for countless generations. What lessons about sustainability and Caring for Country can we all learn?
Healthy Waterways
Essential, precious and often taken for granted. Where does water come from and where is it going? Let’s explore the benefits of healthy waterways and the impacts of polluted stormwater.
Minibeasts
Crawl, fly, wriggle and slide. Minibeasts are hard at work everyday recycling nutrients, pollinating plants, keeping pests under control and more! What minibeasts can we find in land and aquatic environments? What role do we have in caring for these small but important creatures?
