INCURSION PROGRAM

VCE

CHALLENGE ~ INTERACT ~ DISCOVER ~ SOLVE ~ACT

Incursion programs have been developed in response to the demand for assistance in schools. The ideas and concepts have evolved from the existing CERES excursion programs and the Sustainable Schools Initiative (AuSSI). Like these programs our Incursions involve interactive, hands on and student action based activities. For more information about the Sustainable Schools Initiative please visit our website: http://sustainability.ceres.org.au

A step by step guide to booking your Incursion!

Step 1. Choose One or more of the activities from the CERES Incursions Brochure or website.

Step 2. Plan Your Day All activities run for 90 minutes (except for Yarra Valley Water All About Water presentation). Maximum class size is 30 students per session.

Session costs start from $300 per session. Minimum booking cost is $600. (Travel costs additional to urban fringe and remote schools).

10 minutes class change over time is required between each session. Facilitators cannot move rooms between sessions. CERES staff will arrive up to 60 minutes prior to the first session and will require access to the allocated teaching space at this time to set up.

Step 3. Choose Date Once activities have been selected, please check your school calendar and choose 3 suitable dates available for your booking. Minimum of 3 weeks notice is required.

Step 4. Contact CERES! After completing steps 1 – 3, please fill in our online Expression of Interest form and submit your details.

Expression of Interest

This will be sent directly to our bookings coordinator's mailbox.

Step 5. Confirm Booking! You will be contacted by the Incursions bookings co-ordinator to further discuss and confirm your booking*. Details of what equipment the school is required to provide will be on the booking confirmation letter.

* The booking will not be confirmed until both the school and CERES have confirmed availability.

 

The Incursion lent itself very well and complemented other activities forming a great platform for further teaching and learning opportunities. Thank you for your support and hope we can work together again

Thank you! All the classes loved the programs – including the teachers! Everyone involved has been great and all the presenters have been wonderful...and so friendly!. The content of both presentations [4Rs + worms] has been appropriate and adjusted to suit all levels. Brilliant! Thanks again – it’s been fantastic. We’ll probably see you again next year!
