Booking frequency
Forest School offers a flexible booking system and our program provides educational benefits to all students whether they come weekly, fortnightly or as a once off.
Students who come to more than 6 sessions per term are eligible for a parent/ teacher meeting in which we discuss student progress and goals.
Coming to Forest School regularly offers the opportunity to set goals, build upon learning and offer longer and more detailed projects. One off sessions can offer a respite to the demands of mainstream schooling, inspire and reignite love of learning and introduce students to nature education.
