Students explored several of Healesville Sanctuary’s conservation efforts, including captive breeding programs for critically endangered species such as the Helmeted Honeyeater and Southern Corroboree Frog, with animals bred and, where appropriate, reintroduced into the wild to help strengthen their populations.

They also collected real field research data on animal behaviour, which they later analysed in connection with their Units 1 and 2 Biology curriculum.

It was a great opportunity for students to see how concepts they have learned in class can be applied in the real-world world, giving them a glimpse of what it is like to be real scientists.
