School Programs

Council offers a number of programs for both primary school and high school students. These programs raise awareness of environmental issues and provide students with direct experience with the natural world and sustainability concepts. Field trips and bushwalks in local reserves are organised by Council staff, as well sustainability-related incursions and activities. These can be linked to units of work in the NSW school curriculum and aim for a fun, positive education experience for students.

Other school activities include:

  • Guided bushwalks and outdoor learning experiences
  • The Our Local Wildlife Story Book Competition(PDF, 6MB) with year 5’s
  • Propagation with locally-collected seeds
  • Native plantings and habitat creation
  • Environmental talks and activities
  • Water testing and bug surveys in local creeks
  • Involvement in Citizen Science student activities
  • Bush Christmas Pantomime for Kindy classes
