Bushrangers - Water World - Centennial Parklands - Summer 2025

The greatest alternative to screen time! 

Keep cool this summer – join our educators for a whole day of water fun away from the beach. Learn how to build a raft - will yours sink or float? Avoid the spray of the spitting archerfish and explore our ponds with some dip netting to understand the importance of these water sources for the future.  

Who knew prepping for STEM classes in the holidays could be so fun!

Please note: At Greater Sydney Parklands, our child-led nature play programs adapt to the needs of participants and weather conditions. This may result in variations from the described activities. Our priority is to ensure children have a meaningful connection to nature. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility in supporting our approach.   

Things to know before you attend  

Greater Sydney Parklands educators take observations to ensure the overall nature play experience for all children is optimal. These are general observations and children are not asked questions or for opinions that will be quoted. The observations are used for staff training and educational purposes. 

Please come prepared, as this program will go ahead in all-weather unless it is unsafe to do so (for example, during high winds or thunderstorms). Children must wear enclosed shoes.   

Our drop-off school holiday programs have an adult to child ratio of 1:10. We are unable to offer 1:1 support for children. If you would like to discuss the needs of your child with us, please email education@gsp.nsw.gov.au or assist us by completing the accessibility requirements and behavioural needs questions when registering.   

This is a drop-off program for children aged 5 - 12 years. Parents do not attend with children.  

We reserve the right to cancel the event in case of dangerous weather or if minimum participation numbers are not met. In these circumstances a refund will be offered. Please refer to our full terms and conditions for more information.
