Some of the best lessons happen outside the classroom
Located in the heart of Greater Hobart, our students regularly step beyond campus to explore, investigate and connect with the world around them. From bushland and beaches to galleries, gardens and historic sites, Tasmania becomes a living, breathing extension of their learning.
Tasmania offers an extraordinary outdoor learning environment — rich, varied and right on our doorstep. Mountains, waterways, coastlines and forests provide authentic contexts for curiosity, discovery and problem-solving, helping children make meaningful connections between what they learn and the world they live in.
Learning through experience
Learning beyond the classroom allows our students to:
- Engage deeply through hands-on, experiential learning
- Build confidence, independence and resilience
- Develop environmental awareness and respect for place
- Strengthen friendships and collaboration in new settings
Whether they are observing ecosystems, sketching landscapes, asking questions of experts or simply learning to navigate the wider world with confidence, these experiences enrich classroom learning and spark a lifelong love of learning.

Connected to place
By learning in and from Tasmania’s diverse landscapes, our Junior School students develop a strong sense of place, belonging and responsibility — foundations that will support them well beyond their early years of schooling.
