'The benefits of unstructured play' - JS Parent Information Night, with Dr Kelsie Prabawa-Sear

Trinity College's Junior School parents/guardians are invited to a special parent information evening, focusing on the benefits of unstructured play for young children. 

Children have a natural instinct to bond with nature and living things, but the adults around them need to provide opportunities and set an example to get outdoors in unstructured nature play from the very beginning of a child’s life. 

This event will feature a presentation from Dr Kelsie Prabawa-Sear, CEO of Nature Play WA, followed by an opportunity for JS parents to engage in casual discussion and networking.
