ACTIVE EDUCATION WA

Healthy and sustainable lifestyle
skills & practices

Life-long inclusive learning

Intergenerational connections

Custom designed programming

Active Education WA currently operates on Gnarla Karla Boodja, where sovereignty was
not ceded. We acknowledge, respect and appreciate Binjarup mob and all First Peoples
as current and ongoing caretakers of the land, water, sky, culture, lore and song spirals.
In the spirit of reconciliation Active Education WA aims to build community
connections and healthy, sustainable lifestyle practises by learning from others, and
sharing knowledge, skills, good times and a cuppa.

BUSH TRIBE EXPLORERS

Sunny Shaun is proud to introduce you to BUSH TRIBE EXPLORERS. A
Program that has been brewing and stewing for 7 years since Active
Education WA first began in the desert on Mpwarnte Arrente country.
Sunny was camping on a dry river bed with her 2 dogs and double bass after
leaving her teaching jobs from mainstream educational institutions.

A little about Bush Tribe Explorers:

XX BUSH TRIBE EXPLORERS is one day a week during mainstream school
term. A day to learn and ground in the bush guided by Sunny Shaun. We
organize a trial morning during classes towards the end of term for you to
experience the flow of BUSH TRIBE EXPLORERS and feel into if this is where
you want your child to be.

XX BUSH TRIBE EXPLORERS is for families who want focused growth,
development and expansion in targeted program areas linking in skills and
strategies for

• Self-confidence
• Self-awareness
• Self-respect
• Self-balance
• Self-empowerment

Our Foundation focuses on

• Nurturing & Celebrating Self
• Nurturing & Celebrating Others
• Nurturing & Celebrating Community
• Nurturing & Celebrating Country
• Nurturing & Celebrating Culture

Our Programs are

• Grow Your Own
• Make Your Own
• Move Yourself and
• Soul Sounds

For more information on these targeted program areas please visit the
Active Education WA website at ActiveEducationWA.com.au and have a
look at the Program details for a general idea of what they are about.

XX Learning together with all ages allows for unique experiences for all to
guide and be guided, to learn and to teach. For some learning experiences
your child will be grouped with children of similar passions and abilities to
allow for peer development and exploration. For other learning experiences
your child will be grouped with others who have different passions and
abilities which allows for peer support and guidance.

XX Work experience young adults will be in a guidance role for the younger
children, assisting Sunny with tasks for daily rhythm and flow, and
supporting younger children with their development of skills & strategies,
core intentions and core values.
