Want to turn your classroom theory into a fun, practical outdoors experience?
Our Kindy to Year 6 programs will do just that.
My name is Hilary Hay and and I run the primary school programs at the Northern Beaches environment centres.
Your students will love our environmental excursions to this beautiful part of the Northern Beaches.
Our team is made up of highly experienced educators equipped with up-to-date knowledge and resources.
It’s also good to know that all of our programs are linked to the curriculum.
Students can explore the amazing rock platform, discovering unique marine adaptations and habitats.
They will carry out field investigations and participate in fun activities as they learn about weathering and erosion.
Locations include North Narrabeen, Manly, Bilarong Reserve and Warriewood Wetlands.
These locations provide a wealth of biodiversity experiences.
Younger students can meet Tank the Turtle and Remi the Raindrop who will explain plastic and waterways pollution.
Older students will love the opportunity to read maps and use geographical equipment.
They can also discover their role in living more sustainably.
They may even find an octopus or two!
And this is just a snapshot of ways we can deliver K to Year 6 of the curriculum for your students.

The Coastal Environment Centre (CEC) takes learning to the outdoors through hands on, engaging and practical experiences. Our qualified educators will provide an unforgettable experience for your students, connecting them to beautiful coastal environments including Narrabeen, Long Reef, Manly, Warriewood Wetlands and more.
All our excursions meet curriculum outcomes for the current NSW Science and Technology and/or Geography, as well as Sustainability as a cross-curriculum priority. As of 2026 we will also be offering excursions that align with the new curriculum. Please email us at PrimarySchoolECs@northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au to find out more.
Early Stage 1
Your kindergarten class will love this exploration of coastal life. Buddies is a slight variation on The Coast, as year 6 students attend to help their little buddies complete the tasks and activities set for the day. Remi the Raindrop will help to explain how pollutants enter our waterways and cause big problems for life in the ocean.
