Queensland Department of Education Outdoor and Environmental Education Centres
Inspiring learning and leading through outdoor and environmental education
The 25 Outdoor and Environmental Education Centres (O&EEC) are State educational institutions in the Queensland Department of Education. O&EEC provide specialised residential and day visit programs which are designed to assist partner schools in meeting goals linked to: Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline, Australian Curriculum (P–10), and Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority Senior Syllabuses (11–12).
With a focus on outdoor and environmental education, we authentically integrate the cross curriculum priorities of Sustainability, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, the General Capabilities and STEM connections.
The strengths of our programs are in their clarity of purpose, interdisciplinary design, place-responsive pedagogy, culturally informed practices, and deeply connected ways of learning.
