The Currumbin Community Farm Campus offers outdoor and environmental education programs as day programs, overnight programs or extended residential programs across the school year excluding the first week and last week of the school year.
Demand for residential programs is high and to maximise the opportunity for school groups to access our residential programs schools are encouraged to access our 3 day 2 night programs offered Monday to Wednesday or Wednesday to Friday each week. 4 day 3 night programs are offered in weeks that include a public holiday. Schools are able to request 5 day 4 night extended programs.
The duration of programs will be determined by the age of students and the length of the school week.
Day excursions are offered each week excluding Wednesday.
Please look at our Calendar for availability for residential programs or contact us for more information.

Prep - Nurture Play Learn is an outdoor learning experience informed by Nature Play philosophies and Story Thread pedagogies to connect student to natural environments.
Cedar is a self-declared Nature Reporter. He has a special Nature Reporter Notebook that he takes on adventures in his backyard to record all of the exciting things that he sees. Cedar has discovered that before he leaves the house he needs to be prepared.
Nurture, Play, Learn, involves the students in Cedar’s story. Cedar’s Nature Reporter Notebook has been found by one of our staff, incomplete. The students are enlisted as Nature Reporters. It is their job to come to Currumbin with their 5 senses tuned in and then piece together Cedar’s notebook. The Prep Nature Reporters will play and investigate the needs of living things. The clues (living and non-living) that they find will be used to complete Cedars notebook.
