About the NSW Marine Parks Education Kit for primary schools

The NSW Marine Parks Education Kit is designed to provide a structured and directed primary level teaching resource that conforms to the Department of Education and Training’s curriculum, addressing the key learning areas in the Connected Outcomes Group A – Exploring Our Place.

Daniella Marks SIMP Education Officer

With four separate modules covering marine parks and conservation, estuaries, rocky shores, and cultural heritage, the kit offers a comprehensive interactive learning experience for students both within the classroom and in the field. This results in a resource that is flexible in its application, and can be used not only by those schools located on the NSW coast, but also by schools in remote inland areas whose students may not have opportunities to visit coastal areas.

These modules have been designed to fit the NSW Department of Education and Training’s primary school curriculum, and can be used to complement current teaching programs. With fact sheets, identification guides, risk assessments and activity plans within each module, the kit provides a comprehensive resource for primary school teachers to use.

Please contact us to request a copy of the education kit on CD-Rom. This includes curriculum based, primary school teachers resources for all six marine parks to support students to learn about the marine environment in the classroom, or on an excursion. Please provide us with feedback on this kit so that we can improve and expand upon it.
