The Bush Ranger Cadet Program is a collaboration between local community organisations, the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and Leeming ESC.

The compulsory whole-school program includes 10 modules that every student is exposed to throughout Years 7-12. These form part of our integrated curriculum with a focus on Science and HASS, fostering an appreciation for the environment and highlighting the students’ role in its protection.

The cadet program has been operating at Leeming ESC since 2012 and has been successful because of the commitment and hard work of many of the staff. It provides our students with the skills, knowledge, and passion to be advocates for the environment. Through the program students practise workplace skills and understand how volunteering leads to being valued, productive.
