Horticulture Excursion

As part of their Horticulture studies, students will engage in an immersive exploration of Melbourne’s gardens to experience the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of connecting with nature.
This wellbeing-focused program introduces students to strategies such as mindfulness, sensory awareness, and nature observation to support self-regulation and stress management. Through hands-on activities—including bird watching, nature journaling, and creating land art with natural materials—students will strengthen their connection to plants and the outdoors.
The experience encourages reflection on the impact of technology and stress on personal health, while providing practical tools for enhancing wellbeing through time spent in nature. It also reinforces horticultural knowledge by highlighting the vital role plants play in supporting human health.
Students will return to campus equipped with insights and strategies to implement nature-based wellbeing practices within their school environment.
