Ryde Environmental Education Network (REEN)

The Ryde Environmental Education Network (REEN) was established to provide a channel for distributing environmental education resources and support to local schools. REEN offers 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
• practical ideas to integrate environmental education into the curriculum and school operations
• efficient ways to seek resources
• partnership opportunities between schools and other organisations
• student workshops and presentations

The network meets on a quarterly basis, each term.
