About Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre

We believe that every student can play a part in caring for our fragile and beautiful planet, and that all students can learn to live in a sustainable way that ensures they leave a small ecological footprint on our planet.

Children are growing up in an ever-changing world and need to learn to be navigators of their own life's course. We attempt to develop the social and emotional skills required to navigate that course through a range of inspirational and motivational activities.
