Learning Through Experience
Learning Through Experience (LTE) is a popular curriculum-based programme led by experienced teachers and park rangers. Based in Auckland's regional parks, LTE provides children with hands-on, practical experience, and teachers with a comprehensive range of curriculum resources.
Learning Through Experience offers schools:
- outdoor education programmes
- farming programmes
- discovery walks
- outreach services (ARC come to your school)
- education resources, and
- inspiration!
