Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.
Environmental and sustainability education introduces students to connections between people, their culture and their environment.
They are learning about the environment, in the environment, for the environment.
Learning experiences in the natural environment help students to develop positive attitudes and skills for life.
Wetlands Environmental Education Centre offers a range of educational excursion opportunities for students from Kindergarten to Year 12. All programs are linked to NSW Syllabus outcomes and content and reflect the site of the excursion.
Excursions are conducted at a range of locations including Hunter Wetlands Center, Shortland, Newcastle Foreshore, Nobby's Beach and Kooragang Island.
Programs promote the integration of enviromental education with key learning areas as indicated in the NSW Enviromental Education Policy for Schools (2001)
