Geothermal Systems & Geology Programs for Schools
Teach them living geology.
Entering the most fascinating learning environment in Australia, students are instantly engaged – and literally immersed – in the story of the steam and water surrounding them…
Learning progams at Victoria’s only natural mineral spring and spa centre are unique: no dusty glass displays of fossils and rocks here! The natural thermal mineral water that is at the heart of our science programs originally fell as rain in northern Australia many thousands of years ago. It now bubbles up at 50ºC through the Selwyn Fault from 647 metres down.
Students gain an understanding of geology and geography through direct connection with Mother Earth in a wonderland all-weather classroom of swirling steam!
Imagine a science classroom where students:
- feel mineral rich thermal waters;
- see and identify the stunning colours of various mineral build-up in our geothermal stream;
- smell the sulphur of ancient waters; and
- experience the relaxation qualities of ancient mineral waters.
We call it living geology.
