About our centre

Our centre is part of the NSW Department of Education’s Environmental Education Centres network. We help students and teachers learn about the environment, sustainability and nature through hands-on learning.

Our environment

Our centre uses Field of Mars Reserve and a variety of other locations to make learning active, enjoyable and linked to real life. Outdoor learning helps students feel more connected to nature.

Working with schools

We work with all NSW public and non-government schools. Schools can book our centre for our learning programs and teacher professional development.

Learning programs

We run hands-on programs for students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Our programs link to what students are learning in class and can be modified to suit their needs.

Many of our programs include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. Students learn about culture, Country and how to care for the environment.

Our staff are trained Department of Education teachers who are experts in environmental education and outdoor learning. They guide students through real-world learning experiences that are active and engaging. Students get to explore, ask questions and think about the world around them. We also provide schools with learning resources to do before and after the visit to help keep the learning going.
