Understand Sikh Teachings in Nature's Classroom: Join Our Outdoor Education Centre!


Beyond Traditional Education: Learning Outside the Classroom

There's a fresh wind of change blowing through the field of education. Now, places like Hilston Park are using a new way to teach by having classes outside, not just inside a traditional classroom. This makes learning fun and different!. This unique approach to learning has been adopted by Hilston Park, where we have woven this innovative strategy into our curriculum. It especially shines when teaching profound subjects like Sikhism through engaging outdoor learning activities.

The Power of Unity: Embracing Sikh Teachings of Sangat

Sikh teachings embody a myriad of principles that promote an enriching life. One such principle is Sangat, which translates to being in good company. It stresses the importance of community and collaboration – a concept we practice daily at our outdoor education centre.

We've infused our curriculum with various team-building exercises designed to develop unity and mutual respect among students. These tasks require planning, cooperation, and collective decision-making, offering learners a clear understanding of the importance of teamwork in accomplishing shared goals.

Living Seva: Experiencing Selfless Service Through Practical Engagement

Another core tenet of Sikhism is Seva, signifying selfless service. This principle goes beyond mere theoretical understanding and finds its true meaning when put into action. At Hilston Park, we make this possible through practical outdoor learning activities.

Students participate in activities like environmental clean-up drives, planting trees and organizing charity events. Such experiences allow them to understand the joy of giving without expecting anything back, fostering empathy and altruism – fundamental values of Sikhism.

Nature’s Classroom: A Unique Learning Experience at Hilston Park

Our outdoor education centre presents a serene environment for these learning experiences. Surrounded by soothing greens, it offers a tranquil space away from digital distractions and urban hustle. This setting naturally fosters mindfulness and clarity, aiding the educational process while allowing learners to connect deeply with the subject matter.

Sikh Teachings: An Enriching Pathway for Personal Development

When learnt within a community setting such as our outdoor education centre, these values leave a lasting impression on the learners, shaping their attitudes and behaviour towards others.
