Wise Earth Bush School Programs
Play School
The Wise Earth Play School Program is a playgroup open for children between the ages of 0-6 years with their parent/care-giver. Play School is a chance to explore natural wonders and forge connections with like-minded families who share a passion connecting with their child in nature. Here, we embrace creativity, honour child-led exploration, and celebrate the unstructured beauty of nature play.
Bush School
The Wise Earth Bush School Program is specifically designed for children between the ages of 3 to 12 years old. It takes place outdoors, providing a unique opportunity for your child to connect with nature and build lasting connections with their surroundings. Through engaging activities and experiences, we focus on laying strong foundations for your child’s growth and development.
Skill School
The Wise Earth Skill School Program is specifically designed for children between the ages of 5 to 12 years old, who have attended our stepping stone Bush School Program. This is our outdoor learning program that provides opportunities for students to collaborate and make decisions with adults rather than following adults.
WEBS Core Values
Bundjalung Nation – Wise Earth Bush School acknowledges with respect the Country, the skies, the waterways and the spiritual systems of the Nyangbul people. We acknowledge our Aboriginal children and their families. We do this in the spirit of reconciliation as we move towards justice and partnership as together we walk gently on this land. ‘WEBS’ respects the great wealth of knowledge and rich tradition which has cared for this Country for millennia. We invite First Nations People to share their knowledge within our learning community, so that we can all have a deeper connection to Country and learn to care for her in a more respectful way.
