Environmental Education experts since 1984

Auseco is a privately owned field study company, set up as a resource for K-12 teachers. Our field studies are designed to meet the field work requirements related to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Syllabus for GeographyScience, Biology and Earth & Environmental Science.

Our expert guides come from a diverse range of backgrounds, including science, geography and environmental education.

Sites across Sydney and surrounds

We operate at a range of Sydney's most scenic natural areas, from rock platforms to temperate rainforests and urban jungles too! Choose a location to suit your needs. We provide all the field equipment and secondary data for your day.

You and your class make your own way to the excursion location to meet your AUSECO guide. Students follow worksheets in small groups to investigate the environment using a variety of equipment and techniques. 

We can run excursions for up to 180 students in one day, depending on the year group and location. 

Good to know

A teachers information pack is sent out prior to the excursion with a copy of the worksheets for the day and comprehensive details about what to expect, bring and how to get to the location.

Not sure what's included in our worksheets? Request a sample copy from our friendly office staff before you book! Click here to complete a booking form and list any sample worksheets you require in the comments section.

After the excursion you will receive a pack containing a USB with answer sheets, assessment tasks, supplementary activities, photos taken of your students during the excursion, plus we also select and print a few of these photos for you to display in the classroom.
