Awabakal Environmental Education Centre, Dudley Campus and Wetlands Campus, are NSW Department of Education schools which provide educational fieldwork excursions for K to Year 12 students.

Environmental and sustainability education introduces students to connections between people, their culture and their environment.

They are learning about the environment, in the environment, for the environment.

Learning experiences in the natural environment help students to develop positive attitudes and skills for life.

Awabakal Environmental Education Centre offers a range of educational excursion opportunities for students from Kindergarten to Year 12. All programs are linked to NSW Syllabus outcomes and content and reflect the site of the excursion.

Programs fulfil curriculum requirements for science, history, geography, biology, investigating science and also provide opportunities to link with other key learning areas.
