About this program

Nature Play has become a global movement as society realises the importance of spending time out of doors, in nature. Here at Thalgarrah EEC, students have an opportunity to explore, play, and interact with others and the environment in our NaturePlay area. Students can challenge themselves, create their own boundaries, creatively construct games and activities with others or by themselves in our wonderful woodland setting.
