CARING FOR NATURE EXPO
The Caring for Nature Expo was recently held at the Civic Centre on Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 August which students from Years 3, 4 and 5 were fortunate to attend. This session supports the science curriculum units on biodiversity in our region which were written by our very own Lesley Grant and can be accessed from the Art Gallery website.
The expo was attended by over 700 students from all primary schools in the district with each child receiving a Boomerang Bag made of recycled fabric as a show bag, with resources from the presenters included.
Presenters were from the Quoll Society of Australia, Girraween National Park Rangers, Granite Belt Sustainable Action Network, Birdlife Queensland Southern, Stanthorpe Rare Wildflower Consortium, Containers for Change, and Boomerang Bags. Groups of children rotated around the seven stations in a “speed dating” model.
