In an age marked by technological advancement like no other period in history, the natural world often takes a backseat in out lives. However, fostering a connection with the environment is crucial for the well-being of both individuals and the planet. Outdoor education offers a unique opportunity to instill a sense of responsibility and sustainability in our students, promoting deeper understanding of the world around them. In this session we explore the benefits and rewards our school has experienced as a result of bringing together the outdoors into the curriculum and linking with industry and organisations.
