Kamay Botany Bay Environmental Education Centre

The Kamay Botany Bay Environmental Education Centre is located in Kurnell, Sydney, and serves as a vital resource for environmental education across New South Wales. The Centre offers curriculum-aligned school excursions and incursions for primary and secondary schools, ranging from Kindergarten to Year 12. Its programs are designed to enhance students' understanding of environmental issues through hands-on, nature-based learning experiences. It provides specialised training for teachers, supporting them in delivering effective environmental education and field study activities.

Unique Learning Opportunities

Situated within the Botany Bay National Park, the Centre offers an exceptional setting for marine and coastal studies, along with access to significant environmental sites, including Towra Point and the historic first contact location between Indigenous Australians and Europeans. This unique geographical context allows the Centre to offer diverse programs that align with various subjects, particularly Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE).

Educational Philosophy

The Centre prides itself on employing qualified educators who have extensive experience in both primary and high school teaching. They are dedicated to fostering a love of learning and the development of critical skills in students. The programs are aimed not only at enriching the educational experience but also at promoting sustainable practices among the school community.
