Inside the CBE Centre
CULTURE, CREATIVE ARTS AND ENVIRONMENT
The CBE Centre has set-up learning spaces where children can see, handle and talk about what they are learning.
Creative arts & modelling
Clay modelling, ornaments, beadwork and painting are set out so children can see the techniques and try their own.
Music & indigenous instruments
Drums, lyres, shakers and other indigenous instruments are displayed and played in the music area.
Environmental activities
Everyday items — kitchen utensils, personal care items, clothing and sources of heat and light — are grouped for hands-on learning.
The CBE Centre
The centre is a covered space with seating, used for learning sessions and school group visits.
Set up for groups
Learning displays line the front of the centre, with chairs and tables arranged for visiting classes.
CBE Garden
GROWING WITHOUT SOIL
Part of the garden is set up for hydroponic growing, where plants grow in water-fed pipes and towers built from recycled containers.
Vertical towers
Towers made from recycled containers hold rows of seedlings, each fed by a drip bottle.
Strawberries in pipes
Strawberry plants grow along raised pipes, so children can see the roots and fruit forming.
Pipe growing
Lettuce and herbs grow in stacked pipes — a simple way to show how plants take up water and nutrients.
A garden made from recycling
The garden shows how bottles, pipes and containers can be reused to grow food in a small space.
Animal viewing
LOOK CLOSELY. ASK QUESTIONS.
Animal viewing gives children and families another opportunity to observe, talk and discover something new together.
The animals
SOME OF THE ANIMALS TO SEE
Children can walk around the animal area and take their time looking at each enclosure.
Crocodiles
Crocodiles rest beside the water in their walled enclosure, viewed safely from outside.
Basking in the sun
On warm days the crocodiles stretch out on the sand next to their pool.
A safe view
The enclosure fence lets children look closely while staying at a safe distance.
Tortoises
Tortoises move slowly around their pen, with fresh greens and water nearby.
Tortoises together
Several tortoises share the same pen and gather where the food is laid out.
A closer look
Up close, children can see the patterned shell that makes each tortoise different.
Goats
Goats stand together in their shelter, always curious about visitors.
Sheep
Sheep rest on the grass under the shade of the trees.
Doves
Doves perch and flutter inside their aviary.
Chickens
Chickens feed and move about in their enclosure.
Rabbits & guinea pigs
Smaller animals like rabbits and guinea pigs live in hutches children can peek into.
