My Neighbourhood Resources

Dear NSW Teacher
A copy of My Neighbourhood was sent out to all Primary, K - 12 and Special schools in NSW in April 2006.

Copies of all the materials are provided below for downloading. Please acquaint yourself with the Licencing Agreement before downloading the material.

We hope you and your students find the material stimulating, engaging and rewarding as they learn what makes a neighbourhood work, through learning about urban design.

The following resources have been written to allow teachers to make full use of My Neighbourhood with their students.

The teaching materials were written by the NSW Department of Education and Training. In addition DET has written a COGs (Connected Outcomes Group) unit based on My Neighbourhood. The link is provided below.
