DEC's EcoEducation excursions provide many opportunities for students of all ages to take part in nature-based learning.

 EcoEducation provides information assisting teachers to develop an Excursion Management Plan as required by the Department of Education and Training's Excursion: Off School-site Activities Policy.

For teachers planning an excursion or camp at one of our venues here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and our Teacher/adult to student ratios required for our excursion and camp activities.

Programs have three elements, linked to the outcomes of all curriculum learning areas:

• professional development for teachers;
• classroom resources; and
• excursions or camp activities based at a number of venues in the metropolitan area and in the South West of WA.

EcoEducation programs support students to understand sustainability concepts, achieve outcomes in all learning areas and develop the Cluster of Values, Environmental Responsibility and Social and Civic Responsibility. All excursion activities contribute to Health & Physical Education outcomes.

 Program content may vary between locations to accommodate the local environment and all programs meet the Department of Education and Training's excursion requirements.
