Western Australia’s outdoor play champion Nature Play WA has co-ordinated the country’s biggest-ever Outdoor Classroom Day – registering over 308,000 Australian children to take part in the global initiative today.
Now in its third year, Outdoor Classroom Day is a worldwide movement where lessons are held outside to celebrate and inspire outdoor learning and play.
Locally, more than 80,000 Western Australian children – including more than 45 per cent of WA’s primary schools – will take their classes outside today.
The Australian campaign is co-ordinated by Nature Play WA – the State’s leading body dedicated to increasing the time children spend in nature and unstructured play outdoors.
