15 Mile Creek
15 Mile Creek Campus is set in a picturesque natural bush setting in North East Victoria. Students are immersed in a rich and unique learning environment that allows them to explore, discover, be challenged and enjoy their learning. 15 Mile Creek offers a broad range of unique educational programs for students of all ages.
Our curriculum is based around using the natural resources and unique environmental settings accessible in our local area, while still being linked strongly to the AusVELS framework. Primary, Secondary and VCE students undertaking Units 1-4 Outdoor & Environmental Studies all benefit from undertaking the programs that 15 Mile Creek has to offer.
Programs are offered to our students under the guidance of our teaching staff, and specific programs are designed by us for each group that visits our school. A wide range of learning activities form the basis of the programs at 15 Mile Creek. These may include adventure, challenge, nature and interpretive based activities.
