Workshops and programs are tailored according to the curriculum and school ethos. Staff Professional Development engages teachers in connecting with nature and avenues to enhance their lives and students.

Parent comment:
“Skye has loved learning about the environment by helping in the Wallabies garden. She has added her banana skins to the compost heap, planted seeds and harvested and eaten aubergine. It has been a wonderful way to learn about the life cycle of plants and the small ways she can help look after the environment. Skye (and her sisters) have now extended the work to home, creating their own little flower garden in pots in the yard. What a wonderful way for our children to learn and grow! Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm with this project.” – Lucy (Australian International School Singapore-Preschool Sensory Garden, 2011)

“The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.” Maria Montessori.
Art Workshops - Group and IndividualWorkshops based around creating art are tailored to the demand of the client or student. Art and nature combined are beneficial on many levels and bring about an awareness of natural systems which leads to deeper thinking and responsible environmental actions. We channel natural creative energy to produce an artwork which incorporates sensorial aspects, expression and findings from nature-connected experiences. The artwork itself is a pathway to lead us to discovering more about creative energy, ourselves, nature and the world around us.

"Sitting Quietly, Breathing Silence.
Embodying Serenity and Faith before Beliefs.
Arising to Care for Others and All of Nature as our very Self.
Gently Moving through the Experiences of our Life like Drifting Clouds and Flowing Water.
Compassionately Embracing Ten Thousand Changes.
Like the Great Ocean, Absorbing Countless Rivers and Streams into its Calm Depth and Broad Stability."
Dr. Andrew Bonnici
