Facilities

Our centre has a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces to support learning in nature. We offer safe and comfortable areas for hands-on activities, group work and overnight stays.

Our local environment

Our centre is based in a eucalyptus woodland and we are close to the Gara River. Both of these natural areas provide habitat for a diverse range of native plants and animals. The Thalgarrah EEC site also has a rich Aboriginal and European History that can be observed.

We use these outdoor spaces to help students learn about nature, history and sustainability.

Our learning spaces

We have both indoor and outdoor spaces that give students unique learning experiences and allows them to connect with the natural world around them.

At our centre, we offer:

• outdoor areas for hands-on activities
• indoor classroom
• technology room with microscopes
• access to the Gara River and nearby woodland

These spaces let students learn by doing and connect with the natural world around them.
