A visit to Mount Keira

A visit to Mount Keira

By Miss Kristine Head, Science Teacher

A group of senior biology students recently visited Mount Keira in New South Wales for an immersive field trip to study the rich rainforest ecosystems of the region. During the excursion, the students explored various plant species, learning about their characteristics and abundance within the rainforest.

As part of an "animal catch" activity, the students successfully caught a frog and a yabby. The trip provided a valuable opportunity for the students to develop their fieldwork skills, including data collection and species identification, while also enhancing their communication and teamwork abilities.

This hands-on experience allowed the students to deepen their understanding of ecological interactions and the importance of rainforest conservation.
