Looking for an engaging and educational school excursion that brings classroom learning to life? At Green Olive at Red Hill, we offer immersive farm experiences for students that support curriculum areas including Health and Human Development, Science, Geography, and Sustainability.
Our farm-based excursions are designed to help students explore where food comes from, understand the importance of sustainable farming, and develop lifelong connections with the land and their health.
Real-World Learning Outdoors
Set on a 27-acre working farm on the Mornington Peninsula, students are guided on a tour by the owners themselves—passionate farmers who share their knowledge of food production, environmental practices, and healthy eating. Students will see olives, grapes, herbs, vegetables, and farm animals, learning how each plays a role in our paddock-to-plate philosophy.
This experience aligns perfectly with topics covered in Health and Human Development, Food Technology, and Sustainability Education, providing a hands-on understanding of concepts discussed in the classroom.
Interactive and Immersive
Our student excursions are interactive and tailored to suit primary and secondary school levels. Whether observing our animals, understanding how composting reduces food waste, or walking through our kitchen garden, students will leave with a deeper understanding of food systems, healthy lifestyles, and environmental responsibility.
Following the tour, students enjoy a nutritious grazing plate featuring farm-grown and house-made produce—allowing them to literally taste the farm and connect the dots between growing, harvesting, and enjoying food.
