Lets Get Exploring: Nature Club

In term 3 of 2024 we had the tremendous joy in implementing our NATURE CLUB program trial.

What a huge success this initiative was, and we can’t wait to bring it back to our centre next year in term 2 & 3!

With the support of Rio Tinto, Woodside, and FMG we were able to secure some brand-new resources to implement a trail Nature club program, allowing parents to either drop off their children for a fun independent nature-based learning session OR attend a parent stay & play playgroup where families bonded over nature play experiences and sensory fun.

School term Fridays

11:30am – 2pm

3-5 year olds (must be toilet trained)

$40 per session
