The reason for undertaking the activity: At CGS Care we believe that nature pedagogy is fundamental to the holistic development and wellbeing of the child. Nature pedagogy is about using nature as the third educator, encouraging child lead learning, risk-taking and collaborative investigations. Our bush school programme fosters an authentic connection between the child, the land, and the Indigenous community.

The proposed activities: The children will walk to Red Hill Nature Reserve with their buddies to explore the natural environment.

Please ensure your child wears their CGS PE shirt for the excursion.
