A Place of higher Learning

The Station Resort and the Snowy Mountains is a perfect and affordable location for any educational excursion, camp, snow trip, outdoor education, adventure camp or university study trip. The Station in conjunction with Perisher Blue, National Parks and Wildlife Service, Snowy Hydro and other local operators have a wide range educational and entertaining study options and outdoor adventure programs unique to the Snowy Mountains.

To compliment our more traditional learning programs, we also provide Australia's best natural canvas, inspiring environment and tranquil surrounds that help motivate all types of creative arts students. Our large, spacious and versatile indoor areas also provide a fantastic complex for music and performing arts camps as well.

A unique aspect of The Station is that larger or combined school/ Uni groups can stay exclusively within the Resort (Summer months), separate from town, the general public and any possible distractions. The entire complex can then be set up to accommodate indoor and outdoor 'on – Site' activities for students using our 5 separate function/ meeting rooms, break out areas, games room, sports oval and two large dining areas.

To make the planing process easy, we have teamed up with local education services to provide a range of set educational packages which meet syllabus requirements in geography, science and history and are designed to be interactive, hands on, flexible and fun! You can also choose to run your own education program and simply use the Resort as a home base for meals, accommodation and facilities.

The Snowy Mountains region, Kosciuszko National Park, Snowy Hydro Scheme and the NSW Ski Resorts provide and unbeatable natural and man made platform for a range of geography, geological, scientific, biological, botanical, engineering, design and environmental study programs. The mountains are an amazing teaching and learning environment that inspire creativity, imagination and understanding. So Whether it be the study of land formations, flora and fauna or man’s impact on the environment the Station Resort provides the best value and most comprehensive study and accommodation packages that can be tailor made to suit your student's ‘out of classroom’ academic experiences and budget.

Kosciuszko Education Centre

Primary Summer Programs

LEARNING THROUGH EXPERIENCE

An excursion is a learning experience and should be an integral part of the school’s curriculum and the students’ learning program. The Kosciuszko Education Program, which has been operating since 1989, offers programs that are designed to enhance understanding through direct observation and experience so that syllabus outcomes are achieved.

Our programs aim to give students the opportunity to observe, explore, enjoy and learn about the forest environment through structured activities in a supportive environment.

Secondary Geography & Science Programs

KOSCIUSZKO ALPINE AREA - A FRAGILE ENVIRONMENT

The possibility of studying the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere in the fragile Kosciuszko alpine area, combined with looking at the impact people have had on this environment and how the area is now being managed makes this a popular study topic for senior high school geography and biology students.

Our programs include opportunities for students to acquire knowledge through direct observations, field measurement, recording information, drawing field sketches, asking questions and working in teams. The students identify, gather, interpret and evaluate information from a range of sources and communicate ideas and information.

Snowy Hydro Education

Snowy Hydro has an extensive education program that offers a unique learning experience for students from Primary School to Year 12. Snowy Hydro employs Education Officers to develop, design and implement a range of projects and initiatives for local schools and for visiting schools from around Australia.

A range of education classroom resources has been produced specifically for schools, each providing an appropriate case study for a range of syllabuses. Each resource is outlined in this section through their appropriate stages.

As well as these classroom resources, the Snowy Mountains Scheme Information and Education Centre situated in Cooma (just over an hour from Canberra) has a range of activities tailored to fit your programs. The Centre focuses on the Schemes power stations, dams, water resources and energy market but it also includes displays on key topics such as environment, engineering, history and irrigation. Exhibits ranging from pedal-power bikes, an interactive energy market and hands-on models reinforce a dynamic learning experience for students of all ages. Education Officers at the Centre deliver tailored presentations to students about the Scheme, as well as showing some of the many films in our lecture theatres.
