Wander in Wonder

Wander in Wonder is a bush school, meaning that children and educators are outdoors learning and forming relationships with each other and the world.

We run a holiday program in Cooper Park for children between the ages of 3 and 12. We get dirty, we fall, we get bitten by mosquitoes, we climb trees, scramble over rocks and we live in connection to nature. These activities allow us to belong and care for our environment, we are enabled to be ourselves and become who we would like to be.

The children of Wander in Wonder are given the opportunity to follow their whims and curiosity, so no day is ever the same. The children lead and the educators support, ensuring the children's safety and a respect for the environment and the wider community. As their educators, we watch them socialise, problem solve, learn and explore, work together, go through hard times, go through wonderful times, climb higher than they have before, work things out together, build, share, create, balance, fall and get up, help each other, play and relax and we just love it! Having said that, our days do generally follow a loose structure.
