What families are saying about Bruns Bush School:
“Hughie would wake up every Tuesday morning so excited for bush school, to the point where he’d be ready to go and wanting to get in the car at 7am. What a beautiful, safe, fun, engaging, incredible space you have created. We are so grateful.” – Lenne
"Thanks for such a wonderful term! Tai has grown in leaps and bounds with confidence. Thank you for your amazing work! Xx." – Lia
"They both loved it! I don't know what you guys give them, but it's like we get the best versions of our kids every single time we pick them up from Bush School." – Andrea
“What you offer is priceless and our kids are so lucky to have someone like yourself taking the time and attention to teach the kids about nature and what it can teach them.” - Aidan
“There is no better way for our children to develop a love and respect for this beautiful land. Daisy has such a respect and love of the environment that you take them into. What could be more valuable than this. Nature is the present moment, a moment free from past and future thoughts. This connection with nature is an invaluable experience which they will no doubt continue to love and cherish through their lives. Thanks again Rohan” – Aidan
"I am just so happy that I feel comfortable with leaving Makoa with Rohan, Luke and Anna as I know we share similar values and I feel like I can trust them all to look after my little boy and help him feel safe. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You've become such an important part in Makoa's upbringing.” – Anna
"Thanks again!!! It’s such a great program where the kids learn amazing skills and always want to go back! – Kate (parent)
"We love going out into the bush to play games, learn how to make damper and fire, but also learn about nature. Every time we go to bush school, we learn something new and have fun with our friends." - Bush School kids
"I like everything about bush school!" - Marion (age 7)
"Bush school has been incredible for my 3 year old. He has been learning social skills how to work as a team and be more resilient. My son comes back very nourished and exhausted from his days, any pent up energy is usually released at school and he is much more well rounded and balanced because of it. The space that Flick, Avo and Rohan hold is really inspiring, they have clear boundaries yet know how to help with big feelings in a way that is caring and healing. I feel really safe with having my son there in their care which can be rare especially for first time parents with young children. I highly recommend, children need to be connected to nature especially if they are stuck in a box a lot of the time cut off from it." - Nala
