Each year, a new theme is explored through hands-on, inquiry-based activities that foster student engagement and community involvement. In 2025, the theme was ‘Air’, with students across three classes investigating its role in everyday life and natural systems. Activities included exploring how air dries food, understanding atmospheric composition and examining how air circulation influences weather and ocean currents. Students also studied air pollution and mitigation strategies, discovered how plants use wind to disperse pollen and explored the creative use of air in music and art. These activities encouraged students to think critically and creatively about sustainability and science.
A key contributor to the program’s success is WOW Wilderness Ecocruise, whose team provides expert knowledge, resources and immersive experiences. Their involvement, along with support from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, local volunteer fire and rescue services, Aboriginal Elders, artists and parents, enriches the program and strengthens community ties.
The program continues to achieve meaningful outcomes, including increased environmental awareness and action among students and families
