Incursions and Excursions
Incursions and excursions give children a wide range of authentic experiences that broaden their knowledge and connection to their community. We incorporate the costs of our incursions and excursions within our budget whenever possible, so all children can be part of these amazing experiences.
We program more Incursions than Excursions for our Kindergarten group, as this is accessible and achievable for all our students. Some examples of excursions we have organised include visits to the Kelmscott Senior High school farm and the Western Australian Museum.
