ANBG Education Programs
The Gardens Classroom
Join us for a day-long learning adventure! Our Gardens Classroom programs operate on a 3x1 hour activity rotation. We ask you to divide your class into 3 groups and Gardens education staff will lead 2 engaging activities, while the visiting Teacher leads the third. We will provide all the resources for a fun day, so only limited Teacher preparation is required.
In 2005 our Gardens Classroom theme is Water for Life. Designed to accommodate all school years, this hugely successful program has children engaged in real water science while being outdoors in the wonderful Gardens environment.
-
Our programs cost $5.50 per student and Teachers and support persons are free.

We can handle group sizes up to 75 students, so fill the bus for a cost-effective excursion.

Explainers meet groups on arrival and deliver a brief introduction, organise storage of bags etc and divide the group into smaller units.
