The Outdoor Learning program focuses on the concept of using the outdoor environment to enhance student learning through the formal and informal curriculum.

​

It involves educators and students

• working together to explore and then design outdoor spaces using natural materials to foster learning through play;

• teaching materials and resources for mainstream subjects which use the outdoor environment as the starting point for learning in subjects such as Science, Maths, and English; and

• approaches to enhancing the outdoor physical environment of the school and its capacity to encourage learning (e.g. quiet areas for contemplation, areas for games and social interaction).

AFFLIP has contributed $26,000 to the Outdoor Learning Program, the majority of which came from the fund established in memory of Di and John Harris.

The SMEC Australia Foundation have recently donated a $7,500 to the program and Finstro $6,300.
