Youth Education at Northey Street

The Farm is the perfect living classroom for students to interact with our natural environment while learning practical ways to participate in creating a sustainable future together.

We offer a range of educational and interactive school group activities suitable for all age groups and school pedagogies. These activities provide students with an opportunity to learn about permaculture practices and to experience the life of an urban farm. The activities have been designed to work across curriculum and to fit a number of learning outcomes.

We run regular professional development workshops for teachers in the areas of sustainability education and ecoliteracy.

Our school holiday program, Earth Kids gives participants  the opportunity to explore their connections with nature and each other while learning useful skills.

We also run Earth Kids during the term for homeschool families – see the program here.

Earth Arts and informal playgroups happen at the Farm every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday mornings.
