Bringing Back the Bush is brought to you by Western Sydney Parklands, part of Greater Sydney Parklands. It is free of charge to selected schools. Participating schools should note the following terms and conditions:
Transport
- Bus transport is provided free to students and teachers. This may be a bus with bench seats seating 3 students per bench, or a coach bus with one student per seat.
- The school must provide and pay for any special needs transport greater than one wheelchair.
- Please inform the program coordinator of any changes to student numbers as soon as possible, as this may affect the bus booking and cost to the program.
Excursion philosophy
Bringing Back the Bush is an all-weather program. Students should come prepared with appropriate clothing. In the case of extreme weather, Western Sydney Parklands may reschedule to a later date.
If rain is predicted on the day of the excursion and this is of concern, please discuss cancellation with the program coordinator. So we can avoid a cancellation fee from the bus company, notify the program coordinator at least 48 hours before the start of the excursion.
Please seek permission from your school principal before making an excursion booking.
