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

Thursday 4th July is the final day of the NAIDOC schools program at Jigamy near Eden on the Far South Coast. Around 550 kids over 3 days celebrating “Voice. Treaty. Truth. Let's work together for a shared future”. The program is organised by the Eden Local Aboriginal Lands Council with support from NPWS And Bournda EEC.
The Aboriginal Cultural Centre - Monaroo Bobberrer Gudu or "The Keeping Place” - is a wonderful venue and the students love the varied cultural program. It’s a great curtain raiser for NAIDOC week.
This year is the 10th year of the program and all the local schools attending have contributed to a gift to say thanks to the Eden LALC. In this little video Uncle Ossie shows students from Pambula Public School that it’s never too late to turn over a new leaf!
