Bush School at Parramatta Park

Term 4 registrations are open

Wednesdays from 14 October - 16 December
 

As spring continues to emerge, our Bush School adventures will celebrate the birds, waterways, plants and colours that bring the park to life during this vibrant season. Children will enjoy:

• learning about the lives of local birds  
• following the journey of a seed 
• exploring the colours, textures and treasures of the bush. 
  Our sessions are guided by weather, local wildlife, and children’s curiosity, allowing us to respond to what we find and what captures their imagination each day.

Best parking: Long Avenue, Parramatta Park. 
 

More about Bush School

Bush School is a nature play program for 2.5 - 5 year olds and their carers, set in the heart of Parramatta Park. It’s about climbing, collecting, splashing, balancing, building, and wandering - without rushing to the next thing.  

Each session is child-led and open-ended. There are cubbies to build, ropes to tie, bugs to watch and plenty of dirt to dig. Kids set the pace. Educators support the play. Adults stay and get involved, learning alongside their child through nature connection and hands-on activities.

What to expect:

• Hands-on nature play and outdoor exploration
• Sensory activities and creative arts
• Bushcraft and storytelling
• Carer-child connection through shared learning
• Practical take-home ideas for nature play
• Curiosity-led sessions shaped by weather, wildlife and children’s interests
