The right challenge, at the right stage.

Each programme runs at two developmental levels. The distinction goes beyond activity difficulty: it changes the depth of facilitation, the complexity of what learners are asked to do and the focus areas.

Programmes serve schools in Cape Town and surrounding regions. Planning begins with your grade group, learner numbers, learning objectives, timing and venue.

GRADES 6–7

Build the foundations.

Field-based observation and guided investigation activities. Learners develop the habit of observing carefully, recording what they find, and discussing it in a structured way. Focus is on building curiosity and basic scientific fieldwork skills.

GRADES 8–9

Go deeper. Take ownership.

More analytical fieldwork. Learners investigate local ecosystems or environmental challenges, work through a sustainability problem with real constraints, and present their findings. Connects well with Natural Sciences and Geography content.

What learners do: sample activities

  • Coastal or marine ecosystem fieldwork
  • Habitat observation and field journalling
  • Water systems investigation
  • Sustainability resource challenge
  • Guided environmental problem-solving

Learning outcomes

Observe relationships in a natural environment. Discuss practical responses to environmental challenges.

Programme formats

One-day programmes include full-day facilitation, activities, reflection, materials, lunch and refreshments. Overnight programmes add accommodation, all meals, facilitation across both days and an evening session.

One-day: R1,100–R1,450 per learner. Overnight: R2,400–R3,800 per learner. Final pricing depends on group size, category, venue and distance. Transport is excluded unless specifically agreed.
