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.

Have a look at the other “Plugging into Panboola” stories.
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

We are very excited to have Bega Valley Public School Stage 2 out at Bournda National Park for the next two days.
The forecast is sunny but we are watching out for those westerly winds. Our activities are in safe areas not far from the Shelter Shed at Hobart Beach.
If you are a parent/caregiver helping with tents bring a hammer and a sturdy steel peg to help “drill” holes for pegs. Despite a little recent rain, the ground is very hard. 😬

Future generations will inevitably be critical of the complete failure of current leaders to plan for sustainable development.METAPHORS
Some years ago I won some seedlings in a Crossing fundraiser raffle.
This red cedar is now about 8 metres tall and growing straight and true.
The Crossing has planted a lot of healthy trees; real ones and metaphorical educational ones!
