Outdoor Living v1
“The Environment is the third teacher” – Loris Malaguzzi
The St James’ campus offers an abundance of gardens for quiet reflection, wellbeing, and learning about agriculture and horticulture. Featuring bush-tucker gardens, herb and vegetable planters and mature fruit trees, the school grounds are home to a vast variety of plants, animals, insects, and micro-organisms.
The school campus was designed to allow for an abundance of outdoor learning environments where students can get closer to nature, manage risk, and develop their fundamental movement skills.
School subjects are brought alive through embedding outdoor learning in the curriculum, outdoor classrooms, camps, excursions and expeditions all help shape our future leaders.
