The practical, hands-on approach lends itself to the development of skills associated with careful observation, recording and analysis of data. Our programmes are structured according to the Outcomes-based model and integrate environment as a phase organiser across all learning areas. Our approach furthermore emphasises education for sustainability and encourages all learners to take responsibility for the environment.
