PEEC Programs access diverse Forest, Bushland and Creek locations.

Karawatha Forest

Karawatha Conservation Park is a world renowned 1222-hectare forest reserve in Brisbane that includes wetlands, a diversity of forest types and micro-climate zones, as well as threatened frog species and a rich variety of wildlife. PEEC works in partnership with the Brisbane City Council (the bushland's managing body) to maintain authorisation and safe access for groups attending the Year 6 Wander the Way of the Water program, allowing students to traverse this beautiful place from one side to the other.

Moggill Conservation Park

Moggill Conservation Park is a 800 hectare Forest managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. It is a diverse area with open eucalypt forest on the ridges and rainforest and vine forest stands along sheltered slopes and creeks that provide habitat for rare animal and plant species. PEEC works with QPWS to ensure that students attending the Forest Kingdom (Yr 1), Muddles (Yr 2) and Mission Earth (Yr 3) programs can safely access some of the special places in Moggill Forest.

Pullen Pullen Creek

Pullen Pullen Creek has many significant areas of native vegetation still intact along its banks and provides habitat for a large number of animal species. The creek is known as an excellent bird watching site with naturalists coming from across Brisbane to enjoy this special place. PEEC works in partnership with the Brisbane City Council (the managing body) and the Pullen Pullen Catchments Group (community bushcare group) to ensure Hoodwinked (Yr 5), Connected Teacher, Connected Leader, and Artists in Residence course participants can safely access this local riparian zone via the Pullenvale Forest Park.

PEEC grounds: Harvey’s Backyard & Gubon Enterprises Experimental Bug Garden

PEEC’s grounds have been designed over the past 35 years with inquiry and curiosity in mind. Our resident Ecologist & Botanist has worked with our Learnscape Designer to develop the sites as part of an evolving design process. Ramble & Play (Prep), Bugs ‘R’ Us (Yr 4), and our Connected Teacher, Connected Leader and Artists in Residence courses take place in these rich learnscaped sites.
