Camping on Country
"The children were able to foster independence with following instructions by themselves with minimal supervision for some. ... Lots of the children talked about their experience of dadirri and enjoyed being still in nature. The writing that followed the next day was the most writing that many of the children had ever done in one writing session."

The Bush Play Adventure
"Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting your Environmental Education Centre with the Prep A's of Aspley East State School. I had a wonderful experience with the children and the parents who attended. However, this experience could not have been achieved were it not for the wonderful teachers that you have at your Education Centre and the marvellous way they told the story of Koala Blue and kept the children's attention and involvement at the highest level. I was extremely pleased at the way the teachers controlled the children with their concern for each of them and allowed them to present their ideas and suggestions without bias. A totally wonderful day and very high credits to all those involved."

The Bunyaville Easter Bilby Adventure
"The children were actively involved in their learning throughout the entire activity. They reinforced their 'senses' science learning, cooperative learning, engaged in literature, worked with higher level questions and worked in a recount mode in writing upon return to school."
