About NSW Education Department
The NSW Department of Education is the state’s largest provider of education and early learning services. It works with community organisations to support children, young people, and families through learning, wellbeing, and community engagement initiatives.
Community Role
The NSW Department of Education oversees public schools, early childhood education, and a wide range of student wellbeing and family‑support programs across New South Wales. Its work includes curriculum delivery, school operations, early learning regulation, and initiatives that strengthen inclusion, safety, and student development. The Department also partners with local organisations to enhance learning environments and support families beyond the classroom.
Connection to Big Yellow Umbrella
Big Yellow Umbrella supports families and young people across Camden, Campbelltown, and Wollondilly—communities served by many NSW public schools. BYU’s programs complement the Department’s focus on student wellbeing, early intervention, and family support. This alignment creates natural points of collaboration, particularly around community engagement, parenting programs, youth support, and initiatives that help families navigate challenges affecting school participation and learning.
Shared Impact
The relationship between the NSW Department of Education and Big Yellow Umbrella strengthens the support network available to children and families in the Macarthur region. While the Department provides the educational framework and school‑based wellbeing initiatives, BYU delivers community‑based programs that extend support into the home and local neighbourhoods. Together, they help ensure young people have the stability, connection, and resources they need to thrive both in school and in the wider community.
