Whether they’re testing soil or water pH, catching and identifying fauna, measuring buildings with rangefinders or recording wind speed with anemometers, students are gaining valuable field skills and really embedding their learning!
We also provide relevant secondary data, such as topographic maps, climate charts and historic photos, to enhance fieldwork preparation and support our activities on the day.
With our small group work format, every student is given the opportunity to use these tools to collect and interpret real-world data.

Testimonials
At Auseco we are proud to provide high-quality field studies to schools right across NSW. Read what our teachers have thought about their excursions.
Auseco has been my first choice for fieldwork for nigh on two decades now. Whether it’s Senior Biology and EES, or Year Seven Ecology and classification, Don and the team have got it covered. I choose Auseco secure in the knowledge that the venues will be excellent, the logistics flawless, the teaching professional, the equipment reliable, the worksheets thorough and student management seamless.
Auseco excursions do more than just plough through the dot points, although they do that with remarkable efficiency. The Auseco difference lies in a special enthusiasm for environmental education, combined with a commitment to the highest standards in teaching. I am always impressed with the depth of knowledge of the team, and their ability to motivate and involve students in the fieldwork experience. I also find their support materials very useful for follow-up class activities and assessment tasks.
I’ll be choosing Auseco for my fieldwork for years to come.

The Newington College Geography Department have been working with Auseco for over 25 years. Auseco help us to fulfil our fieldwork requirements in highly structured, syllabus-focused and enjoyable days, using equipment that we could never afford! A day with Auseco is always well-organised and friendly, facilitated by well-trained and knowledgeable staff.
We habitually come back for days at Camp Kedron with Year 8, to Long Reef for Coastal Management with Year 10, and to Bantry Bay with Year 11, looking at interactions in the biophysical environment, and the interactions between people and that environment. Also, Auseco have been happy to sit down with us and design particular days, such as for data gathering for the Internal Assessment for the International Baccalaureate course.
Our association with Auseco has always been friendly, professional, and very fruitful. Long may it continue!
