After a successful, enriching, and satisfying twenty year national and international teaching career, I have undertaken a new direction of commencing an exciting journey into business. My passions, love and importance of outdoor and environmental educational experiences for children of all ages, remains as strong now, as it did from my first camping journey in 1990. During these unprecedented and challenging times, schools, in particular, Principals and Business Managers are now faced, more than ever, with the ongoing difficult decisions surrounding, operations, compliance, and cost effectiveness of their schoolwide outdoor education experiences. This is where OESA comes into their own. OESA can provide the following services: A 'critical friend' of current outdoor education programs, operations, staffing and costs. Provide expert consulting and gap analysis of present issues to ensure the school provides exceptional, engaging, student focused outdoor environmental learning programs. Empower schools and equip them with the knowledge and expertise to coordinate their own compliant, fun and transformational outdoor environmental programs. Bolster and work alongside existing outdoor education departments to improve operations, cost effectiveness, compliance, and standards. OESA is committed to ensuring outdoor and environmental programming remains achievable, relevant and affordable over the coming years. Currently lost in these Coronavirus times are our human impacts on the environment. OESA is committed to Carbon Offsetting and becoming Carbon Neutral with their operations.
