About Kamay Botany Bay EEC | NSW Environmental Education Centre Network

Our centre is part of the NSW Department of Education’s Environmental Education Centres network. We help students and teachers learn about the environment, sustainability and nature through hands-on learning.

Our local and environment

The EEC office is located at 13-31 Dampier Street, Kurnell NSW 2231.

Excursions and fieldwork programs are run at various sites including:

• Kamay Botany Bay National Park
• Bonna Point Reserve
• Towra Point Nature Reserve
• Wanda and Cronulla beaches

Working with schools

We work with all NSW public and non-government schools. Schools can book our centre for our learning programs from K-12. We offer inclusive educational programs for all students.

Learning programs

We run hands-on programs for students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Our programs link to what students are learning in class and can be changed to suit their needs.

Many of our programs also include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. Students learn about culture, Country and how to care for the environment.

Our staff are trained NSw Department of Education teachers who are experts in environmental education and outdoor learning. They guide students through real-world learning experiences that are active and engaging. Students get to explore, ask questions and think about the world around them. We also provide schools activities to do before and after the visit to support classroom learning.

Our team and expertise

All Kamay Botany Bay EEC programs are led by qualified NSW Department of Education teachers with specialist training in environmental education, outdoor learning and fieldwork. Our staff draw on local ecological knowledge and professional teaching expertise to deliver safe, engaging and syllabus-aligned environmental learning experiences.

We welcome bookings from all NSW public and private schools (primary and secondary). Whether you are planning a bushland excursion, an in-school incursion or an HPGE enrichment day, Kamay Botany Bay EEC can tailor experiences to suit your class stage, student needs and curriculum requirements.
