If you haven’t taken your class out on an excursion this year, book an excursion for Term 4! Excursions to DoE Environmental Education Centres are permitted under the current guidelines. Come outdoors and have your students engaged in fieldwork to add value to what you are learning in the classroom. #EZECNSW #LoveWhereYouLearn

10.01.2022 We feel very privileged to be able to take students to learn in some our local bush and coastal environments. We look forward to the day we can recommence these on site excursions. We hope you can get outside today or this long weekend and make time for nature. Happy World Environment Day.

09.01.2022 The Principal, Teachers and SAM at Awabakal EEC were out hugging trees this week to celebrate National Tree Day. Official plantings may have been cancelled this year but you can still celebrate National Tree Day (NTD). This year the team at NTD are encouraging us to connect with nature. ... Hug a tree and share it on social #HugaTreeforNTD. Or, simply plant a tree in your backyard or pot plant at home. The important thing is to connect with nature and enjoy the happiness it brings. https://treeday.planetark.org #HugaTreeforNTD #EZECNSW #LoveWhereYouLearn

08.01.2022 We are looking forward to taking part in schools NAIDOC celebrations over the next few weeks. We feel very fortunate to teach and to take students to many places for fieldwork on Awabakal country. Country that always was and always will be Awabakal lands. #NAIDOC2020

06.01.2022 Even though the official Schools Tree Day is not occurring this year, Students from #DudleyPublicSchool joined us in a planting session to improve habitat, plant bush tucker plants and stabilise areas of erosion. The school has participated in Schools Tree Day with Awabakal EEC for the past 8 years, planted over 1000 plants and greatly improved the environment around the Centre. Thank you to Lake Macquarie City Council and Lake Macquarie Landcare for supplying the amazing plants. #NationalTreeDay #LakeMacquarieLandcare #EZECNSW #LoveWhereYouLearn

03.01.2022 A great local community initiative here in Dudley. We look forward to examining the impressive and inspirational work by Fern Creek Landcare in some of our future fieldwork programs. In particular the rehabilitation of the gully and provision of habitat and year long sources of food for squirrel gliders. As well as the surveying, tracking and the estimation of populations of squirrel gliders. https://www.facebook.com/112811803582547/posts/183726559824404/?vh=e&extid=1JQCBuHH0I2TirFK
