We support students to develop confidence, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity through a bespoke learning program that incorporates 21st Century pedagogy, education for sustainable development, and outdoor and experiential learning. We do this through delivering lessons at our Learning Centres, providing Local Teacher Training sessions, and raising awareness about the importance of learning via Community Engagement activities.
