Field of Mars Environmental Education Centre
🗓 Year-round, by booking
What is it?
Field of Mars is an environmental education centre offering curriculum-aligned excursions covering science, geography, history and Aboriginal perspectives, bookable throughout the year.
Who is it for?
Primary and secondary homeschoolers, and families or groups wanting properly structured environmental fieldwork.
Beginner friendly?
Yes — sessions are led by educators and pitched to the group attending.
What do children usually do?
Children take part in hands-on fieldwork and guided investigation in the bushland setting, connecting science and geography to the place they're standing in.
What should parents expect?
Expect educator-led, curriculum-linked sessions that you book in advance, rather than a drop-in visit. It's especially worth organising alongside a few other homeschooling families.
Why Homeschool Link recommends it
Sessions run by a dedicated environmental education centre bring a depth that's hard to reach on your own — particularly the Aboriginal perspectives woven through the learning, which are taught with real care.
Why families appreciate it
Families appreciate the quality of the teaching and the way it makes science and geography feel tangible.
