Bournda EEC is operated by the Department of Education and is located in Bournda National Park on the Far South Coast of NSW; an ideal setting for the delivery of environmental education programs.
The staff at Bournda EEC assist teachers to plan and conduct field trips for students from Kindergarten – Year 12, which are designed to specifically target KLA outcomes.

Stage 3 students with a flair for writing and creating interesting stories about animals had the opportunity to combine their writing talents and drama expertise at the Literacy and Puppets Workshop. Using puppets as the means to tell the story, the drama created was performed and filmed – Tanja PS film is shown here.
Students from Bega Valley, Bemboka and Cobargo Public Schools, participating in the Leadership, Fitness and Fun program at Bournda EEC, rescued a Feathertail Glider trapped in a fire place. Bournda teacher Luke Brown helped the students to give the glider a much needed drink before releasing it. To find out more about these special animals visit the Australian Museum website

REGISTER FOR THE BIKETOBER BUSINESS CHALLENGE.
I registered just before the end of term and got an email asking if I would take on the role as the NSW Department of Education Champion. LOL!
So from my humble little EEC I exhort you all to sign up, get on a bike and get healthier! Make sure you put the NSW Department of Education as your organisation. Share this message.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the aim of the Biketober Business Challenge?
To get more people in NSW riding and show your friends and colleagues how easy and enjoyable riding a bike can be. There are so many benefits: from being healthier, happier, more connected to the people and places around you, to saving money and having more energy! You only need to ride once to take part, even if it’s just for 10 minutes! (That’s enough to spark the flame…) What's the aim of the Biketober Business Challenge?
