Last month we had 272 people enter the field trip bursary draw and we gave away 10, $200 bursaries to teachers. With each draw we ask participants for a little bit of information to help us better understand more about why teachers incorporate field trips into their practice and who they are.
Searching through the field trips is quick and easy. If you know what organisation you would like to visit click on its name in our Institution Members List. If you would like to discover some new field trip opportunities use our search page to filter through the hundreds of field trips. You can narrow the search by city, grade and keyword.
