Bush School – Creating a sense of wonder, fun and curiosity

Join our community of Bush School families to inspire and help your children to learn through outdoor play.

Our goal is for all participants, both children and their carers’ to connect with nature to achieve the personal attributes of inner happiness, commitment to mentoring, empathy and respect for nature, being truly helpful, full aliveness, love and forgiveness, and a quiet mind.

The philosophy of Bush School is to encourage an exploration of nature and the cycle of the seasons through interactive learning with play.

Children and Families

The philosophy of Bush School is to encourage and inspire individuals of any age through an innovative, long-term, educational approach to outdoor play and learning in a bush environment. We believe that when human development is put first, academic, artistic, and vocational successes arise seemingly without effort.

Our goal is for participants to achieve the personal attributes of inner happiness, vitality, commitment to mentoring, empathy and respect for nature, being truly helpful, full aliveness, love and forgiveness, and a quiet mind.

Our mission is to constantly inject into Bush School sessions is a sense of wonder, fun, and curiosity.
