Royal National Park Environmental Education Centre

The Royal National Park Environmental Education Centre is located within the Royal National Park at Audley Heights. We function to directly support Department of Education and Training schools with sustainability and environmental education. We have access to a variety of unique natural and cultural areas. Our programs support a wide variety of curriculum based environmental education programs for Kindergarten through to Year 12. The Centre aims to foster in students an appreciation of their environment to enhance their relationship with it and assist in the development of responsibility for its future. Through supporting students and the community it is hoped that they become better environmental citizens, and will be equipped to undertake positive environmental action. The Centre has two classrooms, a resource library and specialist field equipment available for use by teachers, students and community members. We provide resources, teacher training, suggested activities and links with agencies such as the Department of Environment Climate Change and Water and local Government.

Maintenance

To ensure the safety, reliability and longevity of our schools, every school across NSW receives maintenance. The Department undertakes preventative and routine maintenance every year, and repairs as needed. The Department also reviews the planned maintenance program for each school every year and reviews those items that are predicted to require work to help prolong the life of the school buildings and facilities.

Demountables

Demountables have been part of the NSW education system for many decades and will continue to be used across the state. Demountable classrooms are modern, air-conditioned rooms that provide students and teaching staff with excellent quality facilities. The learning spaces have the same range of technology that is available in permanent spaces. We review school accommodation needs each year, looking at changing enrolment patterns and other factors to prepare for the upcoming school year. This helps to identify schools that need new demountables and schools where they can removed. Most demountable movement takes place between October and February and we report our annual demountable statistics each April. Additional demountable installations can occur outside this window to support capital works and maintenance projects in schools or emergency responses to natural disasters.

We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
