Living in South East Queensland has been the perfect backdrop for a life of adventure chasing dolphins and whales on a mission to spread a love for the natural world.After spending a few years teaching in traditional schools, Vicci's world was soon opened to alternative models of learning, particularly the Forest School philosophy, after the birth of her first daughter. The philosophy embodied many of Vicci's own lifestyle values and seemed to be the perfect blend of world-schooling and wild-schooling.Vicci's passions and expertise lie in marine education, respectful communication, child empowerment and educational freedom of choice.Vicci is available as a guest speaker and to run workshops and consultations Australia wide.?
