During Term four, Year 3 and 4 students have been studying biological sciences through the Birds in Schools program. We’ve surveyed the school and Frank Smith Park for different bird species and uploaded our findings to a national database.

Birds in Schools engages students in the scientific process through investigation and monitoring the birds and habitat of their school grounds. Students use their own observational skills and ideas to develop and implement action plans to help their local bird life. Action plans may include planting native plants, installing nest boxes or bird baths, or delivering education campaigns in their school or local neighbourhood.
