Want a great place to take your kids? Try Hedgend Maze!

Tonight after school, instead of our staff meeting, our staff visited Hedgend Maze in Healesville where we heard about the inspiration behind this great place. Liz and Lee took us around this wonderful setting showing us how their many educational programs would add value to units of work in a school or kinder setting. They also have an extensive holiday program. Underpinning all their programs is a strong sustainability focus, from dealing with their waste to how they garden. (and probably heaps more....)

Lee tells us about the organic veggie patch.

 Herbs from the garden are picked fresh to add to pizza dough cooked by the students.

 Lee explained the process to recover a pond which had runoff from chemicals from previous farming. It now has five different types of frogs.

Signage all around Hedgend encourages vistors to consider many issues facing our environment.



 The Dinosaur Dig is "irresistible" and provides many learning opportunities while having heaps of fun!

The setting is wonderful....I love the Yarra Valley!
