Ryde Environmental Education Network (REEN)

The Ryde Environmental Education Network (REEN) has been established to provide an effective and efficient channel for distributing environmental education resources and support to schools. REEN is intended to offer the following to teachers and schools:

• a forum where teachers can discuss environmental initiatives
• a link between Council and schools
• an opportunity to share learning and experiences relating to sustainable schools and environmental education
• professional development opportunities relating to environment/sustainability education
• practical ideas to integrate environmental education into the curriculum
• efficient ways to seek resources
• partnership opportunities between schools and other organisations
• an informative newsletter each term.

The network meets on a quarterly basis.
