Activities
The classes offered at the Jungai Centre have been designed to help meet our mission of creating an awareness of self, others and the natural world through Koorie culture and environmental education. It is our hope that these classes will have an impact beyond the Jungai Centre. For that reason, we will strive to make our classes current and appropriate to the changing world. To guide us we have created a number of programmatic goals that we address through our curriculum and daily life at the Jungai Centre.

Leadership – skills and qualities essential to working within groups
Action – finding appropriate ways to apply cultural and environmental values
Stewardship – in daily life and as a role model for others
Empowerment – developing a positive self-concept and belief in your personal skills
Responsibility – to be an active member in a sustainable future

Whether we are on an all day cultural hike, at a canoeing session, or in the dining hall, the Jungai Centre staff will strive to make these principles come to life in each student through awareness building activities, appreciation of the diversity found in society and in nature as well as the development of essential group dynamic and communication skills. We feel that learning should be discovery based, interactive and perhaps most of all – fun.

Join us in creating an experience that will last a lifetime.
