Taking Teaching Outside

Union High School’s learners returned to school this year with an enhanced educational locale – an 𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠.
The idea was conceptualised by the SGB during 2021, and, thanks to a generous sponsor, was completed at the start of 2022.
The space is a new addition that highlights the advantages of outdoor learning and access to nature, both known to increase learner enthusiasm and as being beneficial to social, emotional and physical health.
Located next to the Tony Burrell Union, the outdoor classroom features new flooring, elegant desks and an outdoor whiteboard on the side of the building to aid the teachers.
The classroom has already proven a hit among learners and staff alike and is being utilised by classes from both the high school and middle school on a daily basis.
➤ This is the first of several such spaces planned for the Union campus over the next couple of years.
