Forests of Life is an inquiry-based programme that opens up an exciting pathway of discovery through the natural world.

Forests of Life has been designed using nature as a classroom.

Forests provide an ideal learning environment in which students can immerse themselves in science and sustainability issues.

Forests provide a suitable context for applying real science to real problems.

Forests of Life follows the natural curiosity of inquiring minds to experience real learning.

Students are encouraged to use ICT and other tools to develop and deepen their thinking skills.

We hope that the understandings developed through the programme empowers children to make better decisions about maintaining and enhancing the environment.
