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.
‘Exploring and Mapping our Living World’ and ‘Saving our Shorebirds’ are multi-touch books created by BEEC that are designed for students. These books are available for free from the iBooks Store and can be downloaded onto an iPhone, iPad or Mac. The books are designed for primary students and are full of interactive diagrams, photos and videos. Each book allows students to explore and play, inspiring curiosity and a sense of wonder for our living world.
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

CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY
The usual Bournda event along Sapphire Coast Drive won't be happening until we can sort out temporary speed limits and traffic control support on Sapphire Coast Drive.
You can't have a Clean Up Australia event on a roadside without those conditions being met to reduce vehicle speeds to 40km/hr.
Last year we were able to go ahead with the generous support of Bega Valley Waste & Recycling and a clean up later in the year may be possible but we just don't know yet. There is plenty of rubbish to pick up so hopefully that will happen at some stage 😀
