Water for Life
This is a Gardens Classroom program aimed at Kindergarden – Year 12. Our Water for Life program is designed to accommodate up to 75 children per excursion. Students are divided into 3 groups and rotated through a series of 3 one hour activities. Two of the activities are facilitated by ANBG education staff and the other is Teacher-led (all student worksheets and teacher resources are provided, so minimal prior preparation is required). We stop for recess and lunch breaks between activities.
If you have not already been to the page that describes how the Gardens Classroom works, then we suggest you do so now.
